The Meadows - Wilford Grove
As was!
Dr Cooper's surgery on the corner of Wilford Crescent East.
The library just out of view on the right.
I was abiding at 49 Wilford Grove at the time of this photo being taken, from just outside the landlady Mary Gavin, and husband Jack's front door on the left out of view.
In those days I had hair, honour, and hope!
The Meadows - Corner of Kirkwright and Derwent Street
The Cricketers Rest pub on the right, corner of Derwent Street, the railway bridge that carried the trains into Arkwright Street Station, that was positioned on the viaduct above my house.
Many a time, as I played in the back-yard near the toilet and coal houses, my hair was caught fire by the burning embers from those trains, I never knew if I'd done wrong or my hair was alight until the neighbour would stop belting me around the head! Memories invoked with this photo: Duncan's grocers, Fry's Chip Shop, The Grove Cinema (just before the bridge on the left), Maureen Attaway (an early love), the greengrocers, and when the Billy Smart elephant escaped from the stables, causing havoc and mayhem! Early postcard of Theatre Royal With on the right at the back: The Empire Theatre of variety. Watmoughs Sweet shop of the corner!  The ABC Cinema - Long Row Once named the Carlton, I think it had another name too, but cannot recall it. Can anyone help me with this please comment if you can, thanks. I went to see Carry On Constable when it was on there... oh I'm getting old!  Theatre Square 1962 Can you remember the underground toilets in the middle of Upper Parliament Street? Between Queen and King Street, opposite what was the Royal Mail garage. with Always an attendant there, polishing, cleaning, checking on the stalls, issuing and collecting the towels, soap, shampoo, proper shaving cream and razors, always for hire for 2d a go!  |
