Have a look at the maps on Rob's website here
Compare 1900 with 1937 to see Butcher Row and Trinity Street

Thanks Dutchman, I had it in the right place, but on closer inspection of the photo I have realised that what I thought was a roof top of Butcher Row turns out to be a flower bed! |

Why-o-why could I not have been able to have explored it ![]() ![]() ![]() |

A great photo, I love those old pics., and you are right about the fresh fish - looks tasty. reminds me of the old fish market. The man standing in the fish stall doorway looks like a ghost.

Hi Neil,
Going back to your old pic. again, and above the man at the fishmonger shop there is a sign - 24 something or other. I would make a guess but I hate making an ass of myself. Your eyes may pick it up. I didn't notice it before, is it the name of the street? ![]() |
