The shop at the corner of Tower Street - Swinton Insurance - used to sell baby wear, whilst the site of the prefab building used to house huge advertising hoardings. I didn't know this had been the probation office. When I left school in the early 60s it was the Youth Employment Office; I remember going there to get a National Insurance number. The china shop on Church Street corner was Rosebottoms. It was a really posh shop which stocked Wedgwood, Denby and Spode. Our china collection comprised of two pot dogs, probably won on Hyde Wakes, displayed on the mantlepiece!Werneth Lownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-33694804359897572192012-01-03T18:00:34.973+00:002012-01-03T18:00:34.973+00:00The Pre-Fab probation office is between Mr Hopwood...The Pre-Fab probation office is between Mr Hopwoods and what was Grey's.. a place I was once familiar with.<br />I did not realise the 210 was no more Nancy, when did this happen?Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-40847868083575085462012-01-03T17:07:20.236+00:002012-01-03T17:07:20.236+00:00This is a tricky one to date, but after a lot of d...This is a tricky one to date, but after a lot of digging I have found that the bus appears to be painted in the <a href="http://www.gmbuses.co.uk/library/gmb/gmb.html" rel="nofollow"> final livery of GM Buses </a>which was apparently introduced 'around 1991'. It's a bit difficult to make it out for certain, but the prefix letter on the number plate of the car going away from the camera appears to be 'L', and this letter was used from August 1993, so it looks as if the date for the photo is around the mid 1990s.Dave Williamsnoreply@blogger.com
