Stanmer Village or Market Street?

 

[Emily's Mum]

Middle Street. I can just make out the name of Peerless & Sons Timber Merchants

 

[The Large One]

I'm not.

I'm off to bed.

If you want the answer now, you'll have to cheat. For those with a clear conscience, I'll tell you in the morning.

Is that the pub on the corner of Middle Street? I think it's called The Victory

No flies on you two.

The Victory Inn is correct.

More later.

Just for you ...

Nothing on Tivoli Crescent area apart from the one massive house. But it does look as if the steps are already in place going up the side of the building.

I was looking at the images close to the one above in the collection and cam across this

This is the lovely old building that was on the corner opposite the Dyke Tavern (on the same side of the road heading north - in fact you can see the pub in the background). As a kid I vividly recall being impressed by its size.

It was owned by Nicholas Van H who wanted to develop it, so to encourage the last few people to leave (including an old lady) I am told that he removed the roof tiles. The building was certainly in a poor condition for a long time before it was demolished.

Yes thank Andy very interesting. Had a look before my old dear loves this site she sat at my PC for hours one day last month!


I love the references to Redhill. Redhill is Waterhall Snakey Hill area whilst Roundhill is Brighton and Hove Golf Club area. Seldom used locales these days!

The pictures of 14 Dyke Road Ave are interesting as I have been told it is owned by David Gray Manc musician or David Gray celeb photographer!

 

[The Large One]

The shopping emporium that was known as "Sporting Colours"?

From the archives, this is the only shot I could find of said boutique...

The three-storey building opposite the far end of the street.

 

[The Large One]

Next question...

What dissects this street now?

 

[surrey jim]

The multi storey car park off Church Street (possibly the road called Kings something??)

 

[Deleted User X18H]

Yep off Church Street or North Road - Tidy Street . Church Street Car Park dissects

 

[The Large One]

Correct. Except it's called King Street.

 

[The Large One]

Easy one, this...

From where was this picture taken, and of which thoroughfare?
