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:
[url]http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1491927951047&set=a.1490615558238.70793.1619463195&l=99d2d8b322[/url]
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?

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. |

Are you saying that Freshney Place is a good thing? If the planners had just held off for a few years, they could have preserved the old buildings and built an underground shopping mall ( some smart bottom is going to tell me that you can't excavate below sea level ). |

The Bull Ring and Market Place were an act of sacrilege, no doubt. But what became the Riverhead Centre was built mainly on back-to-back houses dating from Victorian times. Two up, two down, outsize karzy. Hardly creature comforts. As for an underground shopping mall? Yeah, OK. Nobody make any sudden movements.... |

No idea where this is.
Any help on either?
I think the first one is actually Barclays Bank in the High St ,Cleethorpes, on the left, looking across to where is now Boyes (old Woolworths), the other definately fitties as stated previously. |

I remember it being a lot smaller scale that that. The pub was the Cross Keys wasn't it. It looks more like the bottom end of Victoria Street to me. It's not the Palace Theatre is it? |

Well spotted. Thanks to the modern-day marvels of streetview you can see from the stonework on the corner of the bank and the positioning of the windows that it is indeed the Barclays in the High Street and the site opposite was cleared to build the row of shops that houses Boyes and the Post Office. |
