(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.

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.

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...
