Nice tri-wing design on Kingham House, Berry Street. Hoardings with a Chinese style now surround this building...though a small Beatles Yellow Submarine is also here, for some odd reason.

There's another reference to CLC on the Duke Street corner of this building.
They're both a bit of a puzzle because, as far as I've been able to make out, the premises were built for Raleigh Cycles.
The underground railway from Central meets Berry Street outside this building, and the line was originally operated by CLC.

Great pics and info Marky and Philip.
Partners Nightclub
Not sure if this is still standing or has been converted, so apologies if it has!
In the early '00s I used to work off London Road and there were 3 derelict buildings in a row;a cultural type place on the corner and this red and yellow striped sign saying 'artners'. Me and a friend were very curious, so we asked a woman who worked in the chemist opposite about the place and took photos of it. She says that an advert for Walkers Crisps was filmed there.
Does anybody remember it, when did it close?
Also, does anybody remember when Phase 2 and Bubbles Pub were open?
I love old nightclubs, cinemas btw....
Do you mean the pub that was called 'Partners ?' it closed down and fell into disrepair.
I wasn't sure if it was a pub or a club as I don't remember it open, that will be the one though.
When did it shut?
well, I was bopping around in there early/mid 90s !! ha,ha. I did go in there once or twice. it was a pub/disco with a small dance floor. Had some laughs in there with a good crowd. It did close in the 1990's - I have a dim memory that there was a fire.
Do you think with as Philip says this was once something to do with RaleighOriginally Posted by marky

the initials could be C T C, Cyclist Touring Club as they look more like bike wheels than train wheels

I`ve just checked this out, it is the C T C Cycling badge. It is known as the Winged Wheels it was first adopted in 1887. I thought it looked familiar as it`s on various cafes and bed and breakfast places all over Britain.

Yeah I agree Ged
I must admit, I can't tell the difference between an 'L' and a 'T' when it's written in a fancy way. 'CTC' it is. I've only ever known this as a cycle shop. Pity someone has shoved a cable over the front of this one.
Is that a copper lightning rod running down over the emblem?
check out this site it has other similar emblems http://www.wingedwheels.info/

To be fair to Marky, I did agree with him that it was C.L.C., but the "Repairers" does point to Raleigh.
It still doesn't explain why the puffer train and C.L.C. carving is there, unless they had the freehold of the land, perhaps?
Yes, it is a lightning rod.
Rather spoils the picture.
