Michael Booth 7,364 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Nice one, Cliff Ton. You did well to spot that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 1935? in some ways looks earlier? in some ways later (length of the woman's skirt) Is that the town arms to the right? (I know it was a pub, just not sure of name) in 1960's was bit of a drugs scene, later caught fire Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yes that's the Town Arms at the bottom of Short Stairs the road off to the left is Red Lion Street(Narrow Marsh) Date? certainly before Cliff Road was built. There is a a picture on picture the past taken in 1926 that looks to have been taken at the same time http://www.pictureth...n=zoom&id=61850 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Interesting old area of town. In the 1980s I worked very close to there on Plumptre Street. At that time it was a small back street printers with a view down the street to the old ice stadium. I worked three stories up in what was probably an old, wealthy merchant's house up in a loft doing artwork, using an industrial camera and making printing plates. Used to wave to the girls working in the facing windows of the textiles factory across the road! I recall coming out for my lunch one day and seeing an episode of Connie with Stephanie Beacham, being filmed in the street on Broadway. Happy days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gibbo 04 188 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 You can tell they were produced in the 20's and 30's. Art Deco gems Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Two of the posters were more 1950s as they were produced by British Railways Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 They seem to have retained the Art Deco styling throughout the steam era. If it aint broke, don't fix it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Do you remember the prints that used to be mounted above the seats in train compartments? I used to have a couple framed that were rescued from scrapped coaches at Derby works, One was "Bridge of Balgownie, Aberdeenshire" and the other "Loch Linnhe and the Morvern Hills". Sadly, they seem to have gone the way of all flesh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
