hilldweller Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Stuart0742 has got the right church in his modern view but I don't think it's St. Andrews Upper Hanover Street ( Hanover Way ). St. Andrews has not got a street down the side and the doorway is in the wrong place. I think it is St. Silas Church, Broomhall Street. Incidently, has anyone else noticed the very modern looking scaffold system in front of the last shop on the right. It looks very like present day Zip-Up staging.

hilldweller Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Is the person wearing P.W.D. painters overalls ? I hope he's got some good wedges under the far wheels of that thing or he'll be be in the city centre before he knows it. Reminds me of the Last of the Summer Wine episode where Seymore removes the wedge and the painter finishes up in the river. HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveHB Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Doctor, my eyes ... And it just happens that in 1925, there was a Charles Fras, Riley, decorator at number 229 Broomhall Street, 229 is the one pictured, (this side of) St. Silas & Hanover Street. Coincidence, or what .. Could that be him, painting up some sort of large frame work on the outside his shop.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
