clocker Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 do you mean the building on the corner of eastern ave and erriington? the old carlton cinama? was later called beacon lamps and i think it made light bulbs?. ive always know it to be empty until it was demolished and houses built there. No , I remember the Carlton . This was a small building and I'm sure it was on the north west corner of Northern and Craddock . It was grey concrete , the railings (stell pipe/tube ) inside and out were green/rusty . The whole building was not much bigger than the houses that surounded it . Someone must remember this .

cainedkaty Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Is that where Fred's car spares was? That was burned down by the local kids (allegedly) in the mid 90s. The fire was started by some friends of mine in about 96/97 during Myrtle Springs school's lunch hour. I remember the police coming o question them. I spent most of the afternoon watching the fire from the top floor of the school and being late for science which the teachers weren't pleased about.

Little Tyke Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Getting away from the shops on this , but in the early fifties , 51-54 , if you went up Northern Avenue towards Craddock , there use to be a concrete building on the north west corner . We used to explore this place as kids . Inside there were railings that formed walk ways , as though to line up for something . Does anyone remember this building and what was it for ? This has bothered me for 52 years , just have to find out . Sorry to get away from the thread but ...... Hi Clocker, if it's the building that I'm thinking of it was built during WW2 and had showers inside in case of a gas attack. At least that is what I was told by my father. Don't know if there were others around as it would not have been much use on it's own. I think it was torn down long ago. Little Tyke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Tyke Little Tyke , that sounds like the building . I don't remember the showers , they were probably gone by the mid fifties . The building was derelict by then , but was a source of adventure for us kids . I'm glad to hear someone else remembers it . Thanks Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
