Re: The Hippodrome
If what you state is right Tony then there wouldn’t be enough room for the Hippodrome in the remaining space.
The brick wall that you can see at the end of the car park extends across the bottom of Albion Street and that is where the Tenament started.
That Vauxhall car is mine.
The actual streets rarely change Wynonie Harris, just the buildings on them.
In picture 06 the bus looks like the back end of it is level with the end of the Hippodrome. But behind the bus there are 3 parked cars, with an appreciable gap between the back end of the bus and the first car or is it a van. Probably enough space for two more cars. If the Hippodrome backed onto the garage those cars would have nowhere to park.
There was definitely something between the end of the theatre and the front doors of the depot.
We need an old street map of the area. Maybe the library has one for 1950?
Any volunteers?
