I remember it but thought it was between Avenue Parade and Water Street. I just remember seeing the name when we were waiting for coaches in the summer holidays on Melbourne Street.

When I said across from Adelphi I meant sort of ish

There were some bus stops outide what is now known as the Old Tannery which used to be Mastabar and then Karimor. It was opposite them.
