SteveHB Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 It is either St Mary's Gate or St Mary's Road, not sure where on changes into the other, on a new build block on the left as head towards Granville Rd. I sit outside here daily in traffic on my way to work. Well done sando, St Mary's Rd This location would explain why SteveHB "should know what was on this site before" as he used to live in this area many years ago. So its back to Stuart0742 to solve this one who also has extensive knowledge of this area. But I have a memory like a sieve. Is it the building which used to be Premier Body Builders? Part of the Premier Body Builders building is still standing. The Hotel, that No one has named yet is higher up the road, towards St Mary's Gate.

vox Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 another view from an elevated position, but where was the picture taken from? Google Street View Top of the Co-Op building Or more likely from one of the windows near the roof. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sando Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Google Street View Top of the Co-Op building Or more likely from one of the windows near the roof. Very close Vox, there is a balcony that runs around the building, the picture was taken from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Well done Steve, ain't Google great Any idea who they are Just had a look and the building's mentioned in the new Pevsner guide, but it just refers to 3 carved heads and doesn't say who they are, which is unusual. It was built in 1868. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
