This picture was taken around 1955, when the site on the
corner of Castle Street and Church Street had been demolished to make way
for a new car showroom for Martin Walter Ltd, whose garage can be seen
behind the building site. The Granada cinema can be seen on the
right. The clock on the BP garage shows 3.45. The registration
of the car is YY1281 - was it yours? The C&C van is delivering Club
Orange to the cinema. |

This is how Castle Street looks today - except that Courts
furnishers has now gone and the British Heart Foundation has taken over
the premises for a charity shop. |
