mick2me 3,033 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 What year was that taken Nick? The OCP changed to a few stores over the years. including the Disney Store It retained a sign saying Old Corner Pin, but the last time I passed it had gone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zab 47 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 The crane could also be on the site of the Fountain pub, there was quite a deep hole there after demolition. Do we know the year the picture was taken? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hippo girl 1,995 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 1999 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,872 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I would think it would be before that Hippo, maybe early eighties. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Looking at the cars would suggest early 80s, the building with the crane is the old Boots shop at the bottom of Pelham Street, where it meets high Street . If you look closely you can see the scaffolding and the contrectors logo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Just shows how much notice I take of buildings nowadays. Most shops in town these days are featureless uninviting establishments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
