Thanks guys and girls I,m on the wrong corner

The pub is on the corner of I believe Bracebridge St and High St but I cannot name it.

What years are we talking about MWS only the 56 went past the Swan (which was opposite Common Lane)in the 60s.

I know the spot we are on about now. I think the pub was either bombed or demolished and the waste ground became a grassy area with fencing and became a play area.

Prospect Row opposite the Black Horse early 60s

Good news Guilbert53 About the Moby Dick (was Eagle&Ball) do you know whats happening to the Lock Keepers house just up the road?

Tell us more Blane I know you lived in Belmont Row I cant remember a park of any type in that area.

Couldn,t we have a concrete statue of Herbert Manzoni and those that felt the need, would be able to take a big hammer and knock lumps out of it.

Still dunk me bread fingers in me oxo force of habit I suppose.

The then new St Chads Circus with the JFK memorial at the bottom of Show Hill.

I,m sure it will be excellent inside,fit for the purpose but the outside leaves much to be desired for my eyes.

That slide was still there in the late 50s although Lawford St had gone. The park was on the corner of St James Place and Vauxhall Rd there was a set of 4 swings and a roundabout and the parky Lanky Jack

Next the Market Hall on Gosta Green in 1963. It was built in 1837, probably demolished soon after the photo. This was not on Gosta Green but was on AB Row same area though the building lasted some time maybe 70s J Saville Gordon later moved to the corner of Vauxhall Rd opposite the White...
