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.

vox Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Just to add confusion. Another possibility is that the "E" is a middle initial as in Thomas E Something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yeh , I can just see them getting excited about the cheese grater and Park Hill flats 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.

SteveHB Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukelele lady Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 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. By brothers would get a ticking off if found that they had been in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
