Thread: REMEMBER CLAYTON SQUARE LIKE THIS?

  1. #1

    Default REMEMBER CLAYTON SQUARE LIKE THIS?

    And todays old picture is A225 a 1957 AEC Regent 5, MCW bodied bus loading outside Owen Owens on the 4B to Woolton. taken around 1959 (copyright MPTE)

    Note the old concrete bus pole, advert for J Davy Speke. and the offside rear lower corner panels in Rubber as an experiment with collision damage.

    We will again be having a Vehicle running day on 9th September when we will be running around 10 of our old buses between Woolton/Penny lane/Mann island on routes 4/5/73/77. Don't worry I'll remind you all again nearer the date!

    Remember City models were Etam was ? and what was the cinema called in Clayton Sq?

    Regards

    Rob

    Remember City models very well. The News theatre which became the Jacey was the holy shrine blessed sacrament though by the time I shopped around there - only young you see.

    Yeah, I remember City Models & Toys very well too. I was always gazing in the window as a kid.

    Then it moved to Stanley Street and it just wasn't the same.

    Was it Clayton Square where the carpet shop went up in flames ?
    All the water damaged carpets were put in the road for anyone to take.

    Me mam would not go and get one .

    You had to be careful if you went to the News Theatre in case the bloke in the dirty Mac came and sat next to you :-((.
    I preferred the Tatler on Lime St. Used to sag school and spend all day in there as you could watch the show over and over again until you got fed up.
    At least you were out of the weather.

    Hi everyone, one of my few posts I was an usherette at the Liverpool News Theatre in Clayton Square for about 8 months. The Manager was a Mr Potter (or Potts), it was a long time ago, 1951 to be exact. They only showed News reels, cartoons and travelogues in those days, it was my first job after leaving school.
    To meet an old friend in a distant land is like refreshing rain after a long drought.

    Yes, if Customhouse was on Limey then it'd been the futurist, ABC or palais de lux.

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    It was the News room in Clayton Square which became the Jacey. The Tatler was in Church Street facing C&A.
