Well done. I love looking at stuff like this, could spend many a happy hour surfing through our local history. Whilst I recognise most two of them really puzzle me:

I have a feeling this was taken on Victoria Street. The 'bank' on the left was the old Midland Bank, rebuilt and now HSBC and the redbrick building (a pub?) became the Woolworths, now New Look with the road becoming the former entrance into the Riverhead (with the Wimpy at the end of it) until it was redeveloped. But something tells me I could be wrong.

No idea where this is.

Any help on either?


Mr McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

I thought it might be the Fitties, what with the fairground ride in the background but the building in the distance looked like one of those 1960's Hewitt Brewery pubs and as a result I couldn't quite place it. Thanks for the info.

Great photo's. Such a shame that 1960's/70's Town Planners were allowed to get away with the atrocities that they did.

I know but what is done is done. The Bull Ring is the biggest crime (so I am told as it is before my time) but most of what is now Freshney Place was once backstreets. If this wasn't sacrificed for the Riverhead Centre we'd have had facilities just like Scunthorpe. Something good comes out of everything but having seen the pictures of the old Bull Ring, Market Place and Flottergate one does wonder. Today they would have been saved.
