Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[SouthEssexBlade]

Who needs Sid James and his pipe? Mr Needham pioneering the Peaky Blinders look. And smack in the middle, no idea we had Stan Laurel playing for us back then.

The BBC have been around for a long time. Like the Stone Island hats.

It's ok walking up the stairs through that doorway to the bar at the Brothers, but God are they steep coming down them after a session!! Much easier to walk out the front door and walk round the corner.

Sean Thornton You can how much of Hyde Park flats has disappeared by comparing this view below with what you see today, I tried to get a similar view on google maps but the Island is now blocking most of the view.

Crown place is also in the photo....my old humble aboard..

Great photo. Presuming this is Haymarket as the Castle Market is being constructed. Couple of observations.

Looks as though Timpsons ended up moving as they always had the corner spot opposite the Castle Market entrance.

In the 1960's we almost had two town centres with two Woolworths, two BHS and two Marks and Spencers.

Now totally non PC, but there weren't many obese people about in those days.

Front Row from left ??, ??, Eastham, Connelly, Greaves, Kay, Haynes, Charlton, Douglas.

The 1966 World Cup team could have looked so different if there hadn't been the 1958 Munich disaster and the Wednesday betting scandal.

Stan Anderson (back row). Alan Peacock and Roger Hunt on the left of the front row. That is Gerry Hitchens not Tony Kay

The second lamp post up is on the corner of Earsham St. You're correct, it is Forncett St. When I played on there, there was a decent sized concrete air raid shelter, complete with gas masks and other WW11rubbish. Got many a cut and bruise playing in there. Used to play football on the Olla, well that's how it was said. Moved from Earsham St to Lowedges in 1958. Was like moving to a different world with fields and trees to play in instead of that old air raid shelter and a muck heap for a football pitch.

I was born 1957 at home in Thorndon Road (front room, not actually in the road) one road up from earsham.

Bloody 'ell - Posh or what!

The block in that photo where Timpsons was was renovated in order create a gallery like the one opposite on the actual CastleMarket building. That's when they moved and Woolworths was modernised and I think enlarged.

Bath night?

Bath night?

You wouldn't have had your tin bath in the front room - too far away from the gas ring and the kettle

This thread is nearing it's 1st birthday. Can't think of another as big and long lasting without the word Morsy in it.

That's superb if only for the variety of different ways of spelling "Bramall"!
