DaveH Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 I know you said no pics but this is an unusual one. In the 1980's the council cleared the derelict allotments at High Storrs. The work was done by a team of lads I think on a youth employment scheme. They cleared the scrub and rebuilt some of the perimeter wall. They were obviously proud of their work, as they signed an dated it! THIS STONE WAS LAID BY LEE MICK DAVE(?) TAWNY 1982 Not a bad first attempt for a group of lads on youth training, although I thought Tawny was a girls name. The stone has already been engraved for over 26 years, being a lower stone in the wall it is covered in moss but their writing is still clearly visible and readable. Perhaps they had promising careers as stonemasons. If we count this, the wall around High Storrs allotments, then by my reconning we are now up to 11 dated stones with different years.

SteveHB Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Did I just solve a major, international mystery that has already been solved ? - Sorry if I have, I don't visit here often (this thread) so I don't really know ... Looks like it, I noticed the pub signs were blanked out when I did the crop for our quiz. (well spotted Stuart0742) But at the side, same time (12/12/07) Alexandra still exists ?

SteveHB Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Proper mystery pub "Pub with no Name" It has to be something to do a owner/franchise change, may be the previous company owners were displayed on the pub sign/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Cathedral, Campo is North, East Parade is East (Doh !), St James Walk (Virgin's Row) is West, Church Street is South This is useful maybe, NESW indicator, never could work it out ... up is generally grey/blue/wet, down is down/grey/wet.

Guest Gramps Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 It has to be something to do a owner/franchise change, may be the previous company owners were displayed on the pub sign/s It became the 'Irish Centre' for a while when they moved from Brunswick street. Not sure if it still is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 I was wandering through town today heading up Division Street. I noticed date stones on the Yates' Wine Lodge (1989) and on Centre 45, (the former bail hostel, and Probation services building) the date reading 1939. I'm losing count now. Does that make it 11 or 12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
