Ecclesall Gaol

These Photographs taken in 1946 of the old gaol on Bishop Street/Thomas Street show some construction work going on in the background!

Anyone any idea what was under construction?

It looks close so would it be Richards Bros. cutlery works. I think the factory finally covered the whole area, including the gaol, and cut short Thomas Street from about Button Lane not long after the war.

Thank`s boginspro i couldn`t for the life of me remember what was there before the Wickes store was built.

The buildings in the background of the photograph are probably what`s left of Green Street (now Wickes car park
