Get yer camera working around Moss St and down to Stafford St,Gedro as in a few years new buildings are on the horizon its gonna change good style around there,possibly 5 or 6 years away?

[Ged]

Cheers George. I was put onto a site dedicated to the Town and Country planning and a chap there is letting me know which planning applications are put in and accepted, it also details what is about to be demolished so I have been busy the last couple of weekends believe me as the pics don't look the same with the boards around them. Luckily, I already had a number of pics relating to what is about to be no more but thanks for the heads up.

Wow Gnash, well fancy all those pics meaning something to you, that's what it's all about mate. Not bad considering we're only part way through, i'm sure there will be some more memories to unlock, knowing you, it'll concern a few pubs or music venues.

33 Kensington, does that say £80 for buying the business. Do you know the year and business name? Listed in 1908 as E. Lace tobacconist.

The flats running down from the Coach & Horses are there now, No. 33 would have been the last one on the block just beforeThe seven day Adventist Church [The Church Still stands].. Never seen a pic down that side of Kenny prior to The flats though.

You must have missed the pics i've posted up of Autolux taxis then CP. They ran down that side just past Low Hill.

[collegepudding]

I do remember something about the Autolux, Ged. it was advertised next to the Coach & Horses but was in fact further down towards the Church wasnt it.

Yes, the advertising hoarding for Autolux was on the premises of 2-4 Low Hill (building long gone leaving the Coach and horses building all alone), however, the actual premises were a little along Kenny itself, I'll dig them out.

In 1958 Directory the Autolux was given as No. 11 Kensington then it jumps straight to to 33 Kensington, the one Zapps mentioned ,and on that date it was down as Mrs. Sarah Marion Collier-, -Licensed Broker.
