Anyone remember Harrowby Street? It's no longer there but it used to run off Granby Street.
I lived there in the mid to late 60's as a kid, just wonder if anyone else remembers it...?

Anyone remember Harrowby Street? It's no longer there but it used to run off Granby Street.

Ahhh...that's interesting. It is still there, sort of. It's now a Close instead of a Street.
When I lived there it used to run from Granby Street to Kingsley Road.
I remember the street. Did you go to Granby st school by any chance ?
I...probably did. Can't really remember much about the school, it was a very long time ago.
I do however have vivid memories of a cinema in Granby Street, can't remember what it was called.
Our resident cinema expert Philip will tell you. He may log-in today.
I can remember going there twice.
My very first visit when I was a nipper was to watch a cartoon show. I got threepence off my mum and went in with my sister. I sat at the front, and they used to change the colours of the lights shining onto the curtains, and for some reason this frightened me and I started crying. I eventually got my money back and bought some sweets instead.
Second visit I went with my mum in the evening, and sat upstairs in the balcony. For years I could never remember what the name of the film was we saw, I just had a recolection of a guy sitting on a barge on a canal, and he threw his sandwiches overboard because they tasted horrible, same with the flask of tea. Years later I was watching The Bargee, a sixties comedy with Harry H Corbett, and lo and behold there was that scene.
