Found him in the 1963 telephone directory Lyn.....couldn't find him before that date...., I wasn't 100% sure myself looking at the photo....it must late 1950's early 1960's....
 
The 1963 Kellys lists him at 98 golden Hillock road, as Aston Lad says. But in 1962 he is at 21 Ryland St. In 1964 he has disappeared
 
Hi mikejee i had it as wordworth road at the top of goldenhilick road which was just off the goldenhilock road
 
Hi there, I was looking to see if anyone remembers the Ray family who used to live in Ryland Street from the mid-40's until the late 50's - their names were Harry and Laura and they had two children Leslie and Mary. Harry passed away in 1955 but Laura lived on many years after as she went on to live with her daughter Mary when she got married.

Hi Lyn
Could you imagine opening up a shop these days and start hanging your meat out in the street. I got a feeling you may just recieve a visit from the public health. It's enough to
put you off your Sunday roast.

It's funny how shops in Europe can still show meat and fish on display in the open air though
 
A while ago but a couple of questions about the photos post #1.

Photo no. 8, the corner with the Oxo & Persil ads, would it be the corner of Ryland St and Essington St (opposite corner to photo 6)?

Photo no.10, Crown Stores, would that one be corner of Ryland St and Morville St?

Any thoughts welcome. Thanks.
