Guest beauchief Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Does anyone remember a large building from the late 1940's at the junction of Arnside Rd and Abbeydale Rd. I seem to think it was a council or government office where ration books were issued. It was on the site that is now a garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest beauchief Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Thanks but I think the CO OP was on the other side of the Rd at the junction with Barmouth Rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest beauchief Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 It looks like there were 2 Co op sites then in that area, the street no 665 matches the one I am thinking of. It would make sense if it were the Co op that ration books could have been obtained there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveHB Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Looks like something got destroyed? Circa 1923 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beauchief Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Looks like you have solved it. I have recollections of going there when I was very young late 1940's, it was a dark grim old building not like a shop more like offices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
