OLD AND NEW PHOTOGRAPHS

Apologies for the state of the image the is the Delicia Cinema Gosta Green like the signage - Westling Saturday and the small Craven A advert the car parked out the front and the lorry - best part is I know where this is - and its still there!! - now used by the European Bioenergy Research Unit - it looks amazing and good to see it survive

We now come to Broad Street in 1939 ( so the list says and we know how reliable that is !!) like the street lamps and the cars parked on the side of the road and is that the colonnade on the right? So we are looking up Broad street to where the ICC is now , and the frontage of the Municiple Bank on the left. Fine line of trees too.

We now move onto the corner of Granville Street and Holloway Head ( although a look at the street nameplate say Bath Row) I need your help though as my information says school - any offers which one? not much to add, two storey with various windows both square and arched and also arched brick frames and the lady with a handbag.

It was Bath Row from Islington Row to just pas the hospital as far as Granville St then Holloway Head starts , I think that's right considering I lived around there 50/60's
