    My people on the ground tell me John the people in there work for the council homeless department who are waiting to move back to their own premises which are being re-furbished.
    119 will be opening again as a homeless single mens refuge in about 8/10 weeks for about 12 months and thats that.
    Nobody knows whats happening to the building after that.
    I have put my people on red alert and you will be updated when I am given fresh informacio...Lol...
    And thank you Sir.

    All I have is a copy of his headed business letterhead and a photo of someone in a doorway.

    I live in Staffordshire now, but visited the area this weekend to seek out any ghosts - it was strange seeing it for the first time.,,,,

    thanks

    I'm confused now (again)

    Hadn't it been established earlier that Acacia House was on the corner of Everton Brow and Netherfield Road South and was now a patch of grass.

    The Petrus/Unique, which is photographed by Gerard earlier in the thread is still there though, a little further along Netherfield Road South's continuation which is Shaw Street, almost facing Whitley Gardens.

    Dunno mate only skimmed through the thread, I am sure though that the building Gerard photographed is the ex Petrus hostel and is now a council hostel.

    Yes it is, I remember it as the 'Unique' hostel where the homeless men went, However, Acacia House was on the corner and is now demolished.

The opposite side, I remember the old terraces where my doctors were in the late 1960s - Dr Connolly. Later when he died I went to Dr Reid who was based in the 50s flats in Watmough st facing coffy's pubs (when the Henderson's had it) Dr Reid later moved to Greaty by the 7 stars pub.
    dr. connollys daughter , dr renton still continues the practice which has now been moved to the end of shaw st. in the orginal N.S.P.C.C building , end of shaw st and top of islington
