Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Here's The Fountain as it will be remembered And the space before The Fountain is the white building to the right of the picture Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Nice pics. Remind me where Selectadisc was Kev, was it a little further down towards Broadmarsh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 You confirmed what I was thinking earlier Kev. Before the Fountain was closed it was a fairly recent building. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Stu, wrong direction! I'm pretty certain you can see Selectadisc on the top photo, it's the one next to The Fountain (with all the stuff in the window) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Cheers! Had thought maybe so but the signage looked otherwise. Could have been when Selectadisc was at another premises maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 I don't remember them on Bridlesmith Gate, but NAAFI had new offices built on Upper College Street, which are now apartments. https://goo.gl/maps/y4KeKeURYVSxoyr78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN FINN 792 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 It might have been Bottle Lane and Bridlesmith Gate only have vague memories of the place a friend of mine was a key punch operator there approximatelyfrom 66 to 70. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 My brother worked at NAAFI too, some time in the 60's (Bottle Lane, I think, although I was only a child at the time, so not too sure) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
