I was disappointed that the area covered did not extend to the top of Marmaduke Street where we parked. Clearly the photo must have been taken between November to April for them to be there. To the left of the Essoldo is Cheapside Motors, with Cullines fun fare caravans where they winter quarters stood. Below Bessemer Park on the right, the white building is the Essoldo (Tivoli) cinema (Now a gap after burning down) and to its right the waste ground is now where the library stands. Looking again at the blow up photo at the top is the notorious Bessemer Park Estate, (Part of the Poulson court case) that were prematurely demolished. I didn’t realise but if by clicking on page and zoom on the second photo you can get a clearer picture. Ernie had designed and built his small single seater gyrocopter which had great prospects for military and police use and just as he was being ‘discovered’ tragedy stuck and he crashed and was killed during testing, taking all his thoughts and designs, stored in his head, with him Attachments W.H.Williams Garage Marmaduke Street - Copy.jpg (8.94 KiB) Viewed 6940 times Carl Williams SENIOR MEMBER Posts: 2397 Joined: Wed 10:49 am
I think the photo might have been taken by Ernie Brooks when he made one of his often trips over above us in his gyrocopter. Far left is H Raine & Sons with Oughton Carriers next door.īarrie, if you look there is one of your vans parked on the street outside, but unfortunately like me with ours unrecognizable.įurther right is our garage then further right still is Eddie Howe’s garage (OK buses) where again the doors are wide open but no buses outside. The second is the full length of the street.
Sorry for the quality of the photo, but nice to see a photo of every day working conditions. Looking carefully at the photo I can see a van reversed into the front of the garage, loading or unloading, whilst another is parked on the street outside of our offices.
