Each of those worth it's own post and candidates for the next Calendar. Worthy of more details for every one of them - "all hands to the pump".

Thank you, once again.

Here's another possible. The Old Crown , Grindle Gate.

Although it looks to be a definate E the last two letters look like ss rather than a w.

If that's the case it could be Thomas Furniss of the Old Crown Grindle Gate 1822-34.

the F looking like an E maybe.

But I don't suppose we'll ever know.

Well, I get excited about pictures of the cheese grater and Park Hill flats as I have posted a few of them in the past.

However, these old photos have a special charm of their own which modern pictures don't have, - YET!

Remember that if you want "Then & Now" photos for comparison it is vital that someone takes plenty of "now" photos now because today's "now" photos are tomorrows "then" photos, and as we have found out, good "then" photos are always in short supply as we can't go back in time and take a picture that never was taken at the "now" point in time.

I can't get my head round this picture of the old fish market.

Am I looking at the bottom of Waingate or is it somewhere else?

Fitzalan Market Hall, High Street, with the top of King Street just in view,

Angel Street over to the L/H side

View from the opposite direction, looking up High Street

Its Market Place isnt it?

That is the correct name for the area where the two trams are seen (L/H side),

I would say the photograph was taken from Walsh's building (John Walsh).

Does anyone remember THIS PLACE

It is on the library pictures as unknown and situation not known other than

Infirmary Road.

It was a Billiard Hall situated on the block after St Philips church going towards town.

I used to walk past it as a kid and if the doors were open you would see all the smoke

puthering out, probably Woodbines and Park Drives. he he

By brothers would get a ticking off if found that they had been in there.
