Matt Thomas… I remember when he took these pictures

Roger Dando… The old Hollingsworth in the background !

Vince Ray… Wow. Where was the photo taken from?

Paul Huggett… Vince, I once had a similar viewpoint when I lived in a bedsit in Milward Road 1970-71, when the gas holders were still in place.

Carol ann-Boyd… Does anyone know what happened to Magnet joinery?

Mike Waghorne… Carol, didn’t it go to Castleham estate? From the 80’s in can remember going to a kitchen company called Magnet & Southern on Castleham industrial estate.

Claire Lonsdale… Would like to see a photo of the gasworks from the same vantage point. Does anyone have one?

Vince Ray… Does anyone know when Wellington Lodge was built? They used the bomb damaged area of Wellington Road.

Vince Ray… I worked out where the photo was taken from, pretty much the exact spot on the start of St Marys Terrace near Priory Road. Boring stuff really, but I located some of the roof tops and some landmarks and it all lines up
