The first two are of the Holmes, which were North, West and South if I remember correctly. When I worked in Garrison, in the late 60s, Lincoln Place was gone and the space was occupied by a mechanics workshop called 'Perfection Tuning' and a dealer in tea chests which I assume came from TyPhoo...

Glad to say I have it sorted from the map above- spun it round and realised what I thought to be 31 was 1 & 3, and 33 was numbered, directly opposite where I worked. Must have seen it every day :) Another mystery solved. Cheers, Rob

Hi good people, I have just done a search for Gray Street so here I am. I worked at the rolling mill (Richard Jones) on the corner of Gray Street and Garrison Lane, from 1967 to 1971 in the offices. My first job after finishing school. The most fun place I ever worked. I used to keep my parents...

Rob, I am over the moon. Just found my Uncle's enrollment form for July 10th 1928. Absolutely brilliant. Regards, Rob

Josie, many thanks. My GGF lived in 36 Wellesley St. until his death in 1937, so will be of extra special interest. Regards, Rob

Thanks for that, Rob. I did look on the website awhile back but the flickr sets are new to me. I will be looking. When I was a boy we used to go to the playing fields in kingstanding for the Boxing day old boys footie match, and to the memorial services. Great times. Many thanks, Rob. Rob-...

Lyn, hi again. Yes we are(related)- we had an exchange of posts on the Manor House thread and decided not to work out what it was. If I remember you advised me not to delve into the Harringtons as it would drive me potty. I do have some of the cuttings I think- police action over mistreating...

Thanks for that, josietrue. That is a cracking photo. I am addicted to Vauxhall Victors. Not the pub, but of great interest to me anyway, just for being Wellesley Street. Looks like an Atkinsons house, which my granddad would have appreciated. Regards, Rob

Thanks for that mikejee. Looking at this map there was still housing on the Lucas site. I was confused as from the aerial shot as the road to left of the pub was an industrial site (Lucas) whereas in my photograph it was housing. The configuration of the windows etc on the aerial shot of the pub...

Thanks oklMowhawk, that now looks spot on. Another question answered. Cheers, Rob

Thanks Phil. I thought the angle might be a good clue, but I haven't found a map that covers this. I know there are some in the thread but much went missing in the 'hack'. I will have another trawl. Regards, Rob

Hi all, this photo has been in the family vaults for many a year. I knew it existed but couldn't find it but it reappeared last week. Having been through the thread I have been unable to tie it in with any of the other shots. My question is which pub, and can I find a map that shows its...

Cheers Lyn-Related, yes, but I think only Pickfords could work out how far removed we are. I will shout if I get stuck. I had just come across the Harringtons, but I think they will be a step toooo far at the moment. I was following my Grandfather essentially and have lots of more modern stuff...

Astoness- I have just googled the Manor House an arrived at this thread. I don't know how far you are with this, but looking at the date of the thread quite away I should think. It appears that Thomas was my gggg grandfather on my mothers side via his son Henry (b1841) his son Thomas (b1864) and...
