radfordred 6,284 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 #1 Left would that be Morley House? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I do not know if it is Morley House but....could the original posters have been wrong with their assumption that the building was the YMCA on Shakespeare Street?......see below courtesy of PTP in 1958:The photograph at #1 is probably late 1800s - early 1900s so I suppose it could have been demolished to make way for tram tracks????? http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM002184&pos=7&action=zoom&id=53632 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 That building is on the corner of Shakespeare St and North Sherwood St, Trevor. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 The building on the left,replaced by Sandfield House,was a music hall/cinema. Thinking back it had some "special " floor put in..maybe for dancing? There was some concern over fire issues or there was a fire?? Can't quite recall.. Cliff??

Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I think it might've been the Regent Hall; near the corner of Peachey Street. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
