I'd love to see to pics of this stuff. I have seen the neon Guiness block and you're

absolutely right, that was a proper city vista.

I'd have liked to have seen the row of buildings on Commutaion Row restored where the Court House Pub was. I used to have a pint in there. The licensee was Barbara Dean - The daughter of Dixie Dean. Also te Legs of Man on the other corner was a great building.

The destruction of Commutation Row was a crime - along with 1000s of others. It would like to see a replica - well the frontage.

I remember the Dean's having the clock around the corner on London Road which they renamed Dixies and is now paddys. The courthouse in the 70s/80s was managed by my arl mate and neighbour Dom Wiles who also worked in the legs of man and the lord warden in spells.

Barbara Dean was there in the late 80s up to when it closed down. She then went to Shotton in North Wales.

I'll bet he would remember my dad, Tony Williams, who worked as a railwayman at Lime Street between 1943 and 1973. He worked as a barman at the Lord Warden, Legs of Man and The Courthouse in the 1960s.Sadie was the manageress at the LoM, and I remember Bob who was married to the manageress at the Lord Warden. He was in the army in WW2 and told us the story of how him and his mate captured a high ranking German officer who turned out to be a Dutch copper.
Another good bloke who drank in the Lord Warden was a veteran of WW1, aJewish tailor, whose son had a boutique under Concord House. His name was also Tony, but I don't recall his surname. No doubt I'll remember it in due course! That's age for you!

Underworld's post#147 - Lord St./ Church St. showing "Bunnies"

If you look in the middle of the photo in Church St. you can see the 1st. F.W.Woolworth building to be established in Britain, 1909.

Notice the gable-end of the building, by the chimney, the advertising says:

Woolworth
6d STORES

Yes I see it too. And also the Edinburgh Cafe on the immediate left. By the way, thanks to whoever posted the guidance for zooming in and out on the forum its really usefull. Ctrl and + or Ctrl and - .

Here is another one of Church Street. It may have some buildings of interest. I particularly like the street lamps in this pic. They look Chinese.

Great photo underworld.

I haven't seen this view of Church St. before? Chuch Lane can be seen, just to the left of the "16 Cooper & Co 10" sign. Church Lane was between the old WHSmith & 2nd Woolies building [later Burtons/Topshop/ HMV]. In this photo you could drive right around the building.
