That pic is on the top half of Calver St, XM657. Between Division St and West St. I think the building are still there, but have been tarted up considerably into bars/eateries. Yes, I've got some other pics somewhere from different years around the spot you mentioned. I'm afraid my filing system is not what you'd call robust, but I'll cetainly put them up when I've unearthed them.
Was born a bit too young to enjoy myself on these mate. If you are correct that they were dying out by 1983 I’d have still only been 11.

.Portsmouth was an experience, remember the big bald black Pompey fan offering us out from car roofs before getting nicked and fighting with the coppers. Garner got the first ever professional foul sending off ,Conroy couldnt catch Corona and we lost 4-1. Typical blades day out in those days.Was born a bit too young to enjoy myself on these mate.

That said I do remember going on one to Portsmouth first game of season after we’d won promotion from the 4th.
Bizarrely I remember my dad dropping me off at the train station and asking a couple of blades if they’d keep an eye on me. I suppose times were different back then
Even as a youngster I remember the Hull station. I recall me and my mate looking over the wall at the top of the terracing seeing the train pull in with scarves, flags and bodies hanging out of the windows.
The nutters are here we said to each other with a massive grin on our faces, little wannabe hoolies we were in those days
Looking at the back of that bat I bet the ball went pretty well if you caught it sweetly.Warley Rd. Blackpool 1948, snake belt and new bought proper bat, literally 10-15 mins earlier, looking to it's future use with Yorkshire.

You are correct on both counts, another reason the trams looked so smart was that even when they started having adverts, for many years they were sign written rather that being pasted on.
I think it was the number 2 clockwise & the number 59 anti clockwise. (the 59 could have been re-numbered from the 3 though)
But that part is almost level. Division St to the Moor slopes with Wellington St intersecting about half way down. Looking on a 1924 street map it also crossed Button Lane yards before it hit the Moor. I recon your photo was taken from Button Lane, or what was left of it, because on the whole of Carver St. there is only one court yard, in amongst the buildings, with entry to Carver St and it's probably 10-15 yards up from Button Lane. I believe the large arched opening in your photo is that entry.That pic is on the top half of Calver St, XM657.

I've found a couple more may be of interest. First, a couple taken from the roof of what was then Telephone House, showing the Calver St/Wellington St area. Taken in March 1983.

The route learning did leave a bit to be desired.....
What about the number 3 then?
I used to walk along there, I was an apprentice at Crabtree & Nicol. Living in fear and sandwich shop duties were a steep learning curve. There was a sandwich shop on Wellington Street known as the "Cat Shop" as it had a cat that slept in the window using the dripping bowl as a bed.
What about the number 3 then?
Hodgy was off Bannerdale, my dad fitted his gas fire!
Badger lived on bannerdale, hockey just off on jowitt and dearden on dalmore. First 3 houses to visit on Bob a job week.
These are the building in question, XM657. The Google earth pic below should be pretty recent. They are definitely on the top section between Division Street and West St.
No , bit after my time but eldest son did in red, around mid 70's. Who'd want a blue 'un?
Cousin worked on that scaffolding, put a smile on his face when I show it him. Thanks for that MM.I took this in late spring 1970. You can just make out Redgates.View attachment 76789
When I worked in Telephone House for a few years, I'd often go that sandwich shop on the corner of Wellington St and Calver St, diagonally opposite Tele House. The name "Cat Shop" is ringing some unpleasant bells now....
Certainly did, stood in a saucer of linseed oil with frequent rub downs, at the behest of my grandfather, for about a week, could have been longer. You bumped that memory from the dark recesses of my brain. Thanks 'cos all the people who would have remembered that have gone.
