Ahh I didn't notice that Cliff, thanks - so is the shot in #1 taken looking north east towards Cow Lane etc? Just trying to get my bearings. What was the reason for creating New Union Street, does anyone know - apologies for going slightly off-thread but it's at such a juxtaposition to the way it was around there.
Have you had a look on Side by Side Maps?
Not the best image, but this photo was taken from roughly the same spot  |

Yet another area to change drastically during the early '60s.

| coventry49 Devon All posts by this member | 25 of 28 Sun 22nd Oct 2017 5:41pm Member: Joined Jan 2015 Total posts:159 I wonder what date that picture was taken Neil? Very early 1960s I guess. I remember the old cottages, but from the back of them on the little lane which ran from the side of The Quadrant to the Manor House and onto New Union Street. I don't recall seeing them from the front. |

He was allocated a new shop in New Union Street just down from the ones in the photograph. |
