REMEMBER CHURCH ST LIKE THIS?

[burkhilly]

Just read through this thread. I only vaguely remember the buses in this part of Church Street, although I remember Woolies vividly.

What I really do remember is the corner of Church Street, where Mothercare used to be. This is where the buses turned, after the first part of Church Street was pedestrianised. God - that was a scary and dangerous crossing. Even now I feel a bit sick at what I used to see there - I'm sure there were loads of accidents at this junction.

Yeah, spot on Mark...I thought that too.
Woolies on Church street seemed to be massive too.

Yes Klaatu Woolies as well...I think that shut about 1982?? Wasn't that somewhere by where Keys Court is now? I remember C&A as well...

Yes, you're right Burkhilly. Bad junction that. Horne Bros was where MacDonald's now stands. I think I remember someone getting killed at the junction there
