[Shops etc on Goldsmith Street]

My recollection is that in the 1970's, it was "The Empire Billiard Hall" owned by Elston & Hopkin.

There were also some shops further along, on Goldsmith between Trent University Maudslay building and the corner with Shakespeare Street.

I recall a post office on that corner, and also a newsagents shop run by a Keith Price - a staircase within that shop comes to mind. There were a few other shops along there, and also some houses.

Keith Pric e newsagent was the 1st job i ever had when i left school
