I think this is at the SW end, the photographer standing with his/her back to Hill Street, basically looking the same way/view as my earlier post but a lot further along/down.

Think that it moved in the early 1960’s. |

In 1959 I joined a company, E. Laxon & Company, Wholesale Grocers and Provision Merchants, which was located in Gas Street.
Would you remember that?
As I understand it they relocated to Charter Avenue, a few years later, by which time I had left to join the Royal Navy.
I also understand that the area was required for the Ring Road.
Hi Slash. Hope you have a better response this time than your previous request ![]() |
