thanks for the photos Willow , definitely been some changes during the last few years , the last photo (Old House at Home) is that a view up Avenue Parade? a one way street ? and the corner where the Adelphi used to be ?
The Antley looks real sad , was a good pub in its day

No that was taken from the corner of Melbourne St (as was) and Water St. The red brick building you seeon the corner used to be Mastabar Mining Equipment. It was along the bottom of there (round the corner in the photo) where holiday coaches stopped. We used to get one to Morecambe from there.

It does look like a one way street doesn't it but that's half the dual carriageway. If you look carefully you can see the other half between that paved central area and the bushes. That is 'Eastgate' and where the trees are is where the OHAH used to be when the road was half the width and known as Melbourne Street.

Avenue Parade is further along in the direction of the main forward arrow. The Adelphi us still there. I'll try to remember to take a photo of that next time I'm down there.

Meanwhile, here's another boarded up one:

Do you recognise that?

The pub that replaced The Old House at Home was I think the Cock'n'Bull (although it was better known as the flying bottle)!

Lovely pics.

The King's Arms interests me. I'm sure that is the pub where my late husband and I did our courting! The landlady was one of my mother's dearest friends and was always very kind to me. Jean Daniels........I would love to know how she is.

WillowTheWhisp · 15-06-2006, 07:25

Mancie and Cashman are right. That is, or rather was, the Queens.

WillowTheWhisp · 17-06-2006, 22:48

OK here we are with recent photo of the Adelphi in Avenue Parade.

marys music was on the corner next to the motorcycleshop but moved to a double shop next door directly across from the mobility scooter shop

disc and tape was another music shop which was on teh corner of abbey street and little blackburn road

corners pub - what a disgusting act it was to demolish that for the sake of a road that causes more traffic congestion that what it was built to solve

Margaret Pilkington · 18-06-2006, 13:41

Ooh I'm sure that Jean Daniels was in Rough Lee having a baby the same time that I had my daughter....38 years ago!

Margaret Pilkington · 18-06-2006, 13:42

The Adelphi is still going strong though!
