OLD AND NEW PHOTOGRAPHS

[Mark Tooze]

Moving further up Key Hill now a few of the old buildings opposite the Cemetery, love the symmetry of the first building but notice as there is a slope the nearest end has a small round window , The taller building next to it also has some age with the metal framed windows.

The taller building is the Gem Building. I knew it well as it used to be the home of M.Y. Darts and I used to work there at weekends when I was much much younger - sweeping up, dying feathers for dart flights and even turning a few darts on the lathes. All of these buildings still exist by the way.

The last two pictures may be of interest to some - unfortunately it comes under the banner - middle ring road work - we know it is the Lucas end of the route but I don't know the area to make an educated guess. Its still 1991 by the way.
