    From page 104 where Sharples also mentions...?

    "The dock was initially a great success, specializing (with a Z) in the Far East trade..." blah blah blahhh...



    I'm well aware of what Sharples says thanks, I've got the book.

    It's the one at Limekiln Lane that's Listed, although they both seem in the same condition to me.

    Perhaps English Heritage sent the same blind person who turned down the Bedford Cinema.

    2 pics from 1913. What a gem this is, it needs saving.

    Spot the Lamp post in the pic.

    A few Grade II structures are recorded under Bevington Street:
    West Block and attached railings.
    Central Block and attached railings
    Eastern Block and attached railings
    Bevington Street / Limekiln Lane Railings and piers to Bevington St. Recreation Ground.

    Limekiln Lane (w side), street lamp between Eldon Grove and Bevington St.
    Titchfield Street, street lamp between Eldon Grove and Bevington Street
    The lamps were listed before the buildings. (1975 Vs 1993).

    Part of the listing for the West Block states "forms a group with the railings to the recreation ground and lamp standards."

    Edit: Just noticed Spikes pictures above...that looks like a rare drinking fountain/lamp combination. The Listing does mention this:
    "Cast iron. Large and high square plinth with Greek key ornament, and formerly with drinking fountain on 2 sides. Lamp stands above this high plinth, with splayed base ornamented with foliage pattern and with corner feet: fluted high columns with two ornamented arms holding lamp. Now in front of tarmac play area, with similar lamp at opposite side (see Titchfield Street)"

    Thanks, Marky.
    I must have seen the old list.
    You're always better than me at finding information.

    I did wonder why 'Eldon Grove' doesn't appear...it doesn't seem to exist as an address. It's not on Google maps.

    Try Eldon Place as it sometimes comes under that name.
