Funnily enough I was at an Army Reunion on the North Coast of New South Wales last year, staying in a lovely fishing village Pub and met a Pub singer who was playing at tyhe time who came from Bennett Street.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-49208217768677572062012-03-31T11:35:11.518+01:002012-03-31T11:35:11.518+01:00Nice photos and very effective comparison shots to...Nice photos and very effective comparison shots too.

I the 50's it was run by "Saran"(Sarah Ann" Eastwood. I remember as children, living in Newton at the time, we were fascinated by the strangely titled MAN (Sir Ann Eastwood) who ran the shop and would linger hoping to catch a glimpse of him.<br />The other fame of the George and Dragon square was that is was the meeting placed for Whit Walks of Newton churches after they had taken part in the service on Hyde Market.<br />Dave Davies ex Hyde Junction (Beeley's Gardens)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
