  1. i have been down these shelters back in the late 80s, they lead the golden fleece pub carpark were there used to be a raised entrance like the one on mansfield road. it has now been filled in as far as i know.
  2. sadly the beechdale dairy is now a housing estate and the old leyland volvo bus depot will also be built on, i live on the 1990s wimpy estate next door and i find it can be a ghost town at night now the dairy and garage has gone. does anybody know what was on the land that my estate (beechdale mews) was built on?
  3. i remember in the 70s-80s having the jones pop van coming round every weekend, i also remember the co-op floats. i did a few weeks work at beechdale dairy and my father in law worked there for about 20 years.
  4. yes, ive just found that it used to be called steyr-puch house. ive also heard it may have been a fordson tractor dealer before that.
  5. its all cladding which was fitted in the late 80s.
  6. no thats the old trades mart from over 100 years ago, i think these were further up the road. i think the machine mart building was built in the 20s or 30s.
  7. hi all, does anybody have any info regarding the machine mart building or even better some photos pre machine mart era

  9. hi all, does anybody have any information or pictures regarding the early days of 167 castle bvd. i know it has been a hire shop and a garage but i have no idea of its history before then. thanks all
