Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[I should coco]

Which one was the Army recruitment office Dawsons or Spencers ? Everbody went at some point didn't they ?

Ahem......

I think the flags flying on the standards are a give away.

You are right about everybody going though ....

Is it the back of Thos W Ward's works on Saville Street? Their office building is still there but the factories have gone.

Just googled that mate to see, difficult to say from the photos online but it could be.

Imaginatively titled the 'Gaiety Bar'.
I don't know why, but RIP LYDON springs to mind.....

Cracking photo that WalthamstowBlade
Would be interested to know what some of the buildings are in the background, not the flats on the top of the hill, rather the large greyish old looking building on the upper left, some distance behind the brewery.....and the the large old uneven group of buildings in the upper right of the picture [including the one with the staircase running up the out side].

I seem to remember seeing these as a kid but not sure if they are there anymore..? Another photo that makes me nostalgic

I think the grey building to the left is still there but I don’t know what it was, it might be trendy flats now. It looks like part of Kelham Island. W. A. Tyzack Horsman Works are somewhere amongst that complex.

Anyone else remember the City map on Pond Street? Had a load of diode lights that lit up a particular place if you pressed the button.

I used to have a Saturday job (remember those) in the mid 70's at Tramps. Think I used to earn £5 for working 9am til 6pm with half an hour for lunch. Sold plenty of star jumpers, oxford bags, Falmers jeans, Starsky jumpers, long leather coats and Brutus shirts. It was owned by Alec Colvin, who I think lived over Stockport way and had the worst wig ever. He also owned Colvins clothes shop (also called Young Rascals and then Birdcage) on Pinstone Street. Happy days!

Yep. As a kid, it was a great "toy", couldn't walk past without pressing a few buttons!

Never mind that foreign muck ...... ' better fetch a fletchers loaf '

 

[oaklandrdblade]

One of the very first microbreweries, decent pub back then but never saw the appeal of Roger and Out. Not keen now as it's a Greene King pub

Fletchers bread tastes of lead
If you eat it you'll drop dead

Mind you the Elephants feet were bloody marvellous
