the subway was at the side of asda ,were the under pass is now, the jaguar garage was called bellamy's , it had half a jag on the side of the building , my dad was service manager at the garage ,also at doughty road garage
Having left in 1991 to move to Buckinghamshire it’s so sad to see how much has changed. I don’t get much chance to get home so it’s great to see these clips. Well done keep up the good work
@@iexplores please listen to it, it’s on UA-cam, Bernie Turpin was from tealby, if I’m correct ‘Saturday nights alright for fighting’ was written about the mods and rockers at the Aston arms in market rasen, where I schooled. When he talks about being ‘back on the farm’ (goodbye yellow brick road) I assume he was talking about tealby. He sings too about a pub called the skinners arms, I believe this to be where the old tudar building is on Victoria street is now. AKA Roy formamans solicitors establishment is currently.
That was the dole office on the corner of Church Street and Freeman Street, back in the 80's. The Job Centre was across the road. Freeman Street used to be quite a bustling commerical hub, especially on weekends. Hainton square used to have a roundabout on it, where the Christmas Tree every year would stand. Why they felt the need to get rid of it and put traffic lights in, instead, is another of those great mysteries. The subway at the bottom of Bradley Street was filled in, in the late 80's, as I remember. I used to go down it on the way to the careers centre that was situated on the opposite side of the railway lines in Church Street.
All looks a bit different since the fifties. I remember crowds of people for the footbridge at pasture street. Where have they all gone?. Town looks pretty well finished now. So much abandoned.I remember the bomb sites near the docks. All the trawlers and frantic activity everywhere, the busy trams etc. What a shame.
I think your mistaken the Underground passage was where the new road is now. It was at the end of Robinson Street East, because there was a Cold store on the corner, You went round the right hand bend with the Cold store on the right and that street connected to Hainton Square. If I remember rightly.
When your on brighowgate your wrong saying fish and chik was where the cafe was it wae never to the left of st james fish restaurant it was where afc chicken place is
