Re: The Hippodrome
I've just been round there taking a few more photos in follow up to the query about the Hall on the 1938 map. It is indeed still there as can be seen in the photos. It's now a Cash & Carry. (Photos 1 & 2)
Photo3 is what is now the bottom end of Albion St but this looks like it originally continued further on if you look at the pavement which disappears under the brick wall.
Photos 4/5 are the end of Taylor St West.
Photos 6/7 is the Co-op, which someone mentioned earlier as being at the top of Ellison Street but this is actually at the top of Oxford Street and is still there. It doesn't look like a relocated building.
This was quite fun. I got chatting to the woman who owns the Cash & Carry about the oldHippodrome and what the area used to look like. She was telling me that a coiple of elderly gentlemen, now deceased, who used to live on Blackburn Road had told her all about the Hippodrome and where it used to be, next to their warehouse.
