Old street pics..

Sylvia, If you look at Berniew's photo of the Marquis of Lorne you will see on street name plate the name Cecil St
 
I grew up in Cliveland St which is the next street along from Cecil St, the Marquis as we knew it was on the corner of Cecil St and Newtown Row. Sorry I can't remember the name of the pub your after. Dave.

Your probably right nickcc101 it looks older to me the caption says 1980 to 1989 but I think I'll change it , I've put the painting on the Hockley Brook thread Lynn Bernie
 
Have not seen the last photo before. Very fine indeed. Another view also of a cabbies shelter in the road...they must have been plentyfull at one time.
 
Hi Bernie, Seeing the car in post 2901, DOP 631, which I think is a Ford 8, brought back memories, I learned to drive on my Dad's Standard 9 which was DOP 731 !!

Cheers Reg
