Re: Harper Street location

This a 1950s view from Mile End Road Ralph. The headstone in front of the large bush has chalked on it a 'cross' and wanted. (see inset) I have been unable to find out how the stones were chosen to remain and those to be destroyed. Was it was an arbitrary choice left up to the workmen? Or were they ...

Re: The Roman Quay

It has been a bone of contention over the years, that there is believed to be a Brigante (pre Roman tribes) quay, just off the old Vidor factory in River Drive. Promises were made that should the factory be demolished then the site would be fully excavated before any development takes place.

Can Anyone Remember the Name of this Pub

It was in Quen St opposite the Briish Legion Club. A trace of it can still bee seen in the far corner where there are a few white faience bricks. Was it the Havelock? Has anyone got a picture of it?
Many thanks in anticipation :D

Re: no body home

All forums on his site appear to have died, due to every post being made on Curly's board. I rarely post any more as it seems there is a clique and outsiders are ignored. :? This is normal behaviour on message boards and I can go back to 1996.

Re: 1973 Vintage Shields

Sorry about that, but I closed my Photobucket account due to local internet thieves who just help themselves to whatever image they want and publish them where ever they want. If you are still interested I will republish. I have the odd pic of some of the participants. I was asked to join them at th...
