CHAPEL STREET, HIGH STREET & ST LUKES LANE
The 1950's & 60's
Richard Beckett
Photo 1 shows a view along Chapel Street from Bridge Street, before the advent of the Ring Road. The Co-op store later became a social club.
Photo 2 is a view from where the Surgery car park is now situated. The buildings on the right were demolished and that is where the ring road (Southway) is. The flint wall on the left still survives around the present Police Station yard.
Photos 3 & 4 are of St Lukes Lane, which still survives as the narrow alley down the side of Woolworths.
Photo 5 is a view of Essex Place taken looking northwards probably sometime in the late 1960's early 70's.
Photo 6 is the old Police Station situated about where the Multi storey car park is now.
Photo 7. Close up of road sign for Church Street: for Rob.
