White phone boxes were National Telephone Company, so pre-Post Office Telephones. Hull is is another story. They stayed separate and were run by Hull City Council until they became Kingston Communications. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Remingtons has long been a charity shop. Is the Fountain pub still there? I remember just below it there was a hairdresser's come colour co-ordinator the women who owned it used to be on radio Nottingham with Dennis Mc Carthey first she would explain to you the colours you should were with each outfit, her name was Ann Martine, can't remember her lasting's very long, at the time I was a course co-ordinator I would visit salon's to check H-S and make sure students were being trained to the highest standers. You would never see Ann she was always at some exhibition, some were. A Nottingham salon with a seven day wonder women who wanted to be classed as a qualified hair stylist. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Willow wilson 894 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Mary1947 and HSR, if I can help, the Vine is on the corner of Liverpool Street and Handel street shown here:- That pub by the Humber/Wyvern car picture is the Bath, which is about 200 yards behind the camera in this pic. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 The Vine is still there as I passed it a few weeks ago. It certainly doesn't look as smart nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites

Great Nut Brittle and Cinder Toffee at the tuffy shop..into the Saturday Pictures..Our Gang..Flash Gordon & His Claymen..A Twist Of Sand and McKennas Gold seem familiar in evening shows. If I can recall was the Gaumont turned into a night club called "Maddison's" I seem to remember going there with most of the Nottingham Forest team.

AfferGorritt 868 Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Thanks Ian, ‘twas I! Only did a bit, credit should go to Janine. Must have a look when I get back from hols. I wouldn’t think they’ve reopened them as the bottom half is missing and the steep bank that’s left finishes in somebody’s back yard! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony Hood 39 Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Ian Haven't seen the photo, but the mention of Cartergate tweaked my interest. My Mum, brother and I moved from Waterway Street in the Meadows when it was demolished to No1 Cartergate in 1976, I think. I was just going to college at the time so was 16 years old. What was interesting about No1 Cartergate was the feature in the garden. We were given the key to a door in the sandstone rock face. When I opened the door we found it led to a cave, that appeared to me to have been occupied at some point in time. Although many years later I think I read that the location was once the Plague burial ground. Just a little ditty. I've had a stiff 'two' doubles - feel a lot better now.

HSR 286 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 I had no idea about all these different locations! Learn something new everyday on here. Thought I was awestruck staring into the windows of such shops. Given the austerity in 1946 it must have been even more magical ! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen and looked when you sent them to me me, Alan and I sort of worked out where he lived. It's a very unrealistic hope that one day I could see a picture of just the street.
