vox Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 PMd Richard Staniforth & Lee is a definite. Good work so far between you. I've got it all apart from the row of very small writing across the center of the narrow wall. I may have to try for a better photo to work that one out. Also - the very bottom on the main wall has to be conjecture, but it ties in with what is on the other wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I've had a look again today and I've got the lot. I'll leave it 'till tomorrow in case anyone else is interested in trying to work it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still like to know what it says on each side of the top window, it does look like a date at the right hand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukelele lady Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I think we could be talking cross purpose here and not explaining which photograph we are looking at.

Sorry UkeLass - I didn't mean it said "Conjecture" I meant we could make an assumption as to what it said at the very bottom, because of what is written on the other wall.

ukelele lady Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Can you remember Cartledges on the corner of Upperthorpe Road and Portland Street? As kids we used to laugh at the old men's long johns in the window. Here it is today with the wall paint fading away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pawnbroker sign outside, - the familiar 3 brass balls, 2 high and 1 low(it means "the odds are 2 to 1 you won't get it back!" ) and it now appears to be a continental food place with halal meat.

I'm just popping the old mans longjohns into the pawnshop, I'll be back with a pigs-foot for tea ... Oh these dates are all before my time. The Cartledges our mums took us to sold clothes. You know the type , XXL knickers , long drawers in the skin tone pink, liberty bodices , white with rubber buttons. I can still remember wearing those as a kid, sort of a vest with sleeves in. Behind the counter were large dark wooden drawers with brass handles, each drawer labelled with the sizes of the underwear. And the packets of thick brown ladies stockings ugh, not like the stockings of today. You could also get your navy blue school knickers there too. he he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
