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.
bernie that painting of hockley hill is one of my favourites...for those interested go to the hockley hill thread where it has been discussed...the buildings on the high pavement is now where hockley hill post office stands...

Looking at the age of all the vehicles I would have thought this photo was more likely from the sixties. I remember when the Bedford TK was first introduced which would have been app 1962, the garage I worked for were the main agents.
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 !!
