Fareast Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I'm sorry this has nothing to do with the old history of Button Lane but just after the 2nd. World War , Button Lane used to fascinate me. First of all it was very Dickensian , even in 1950 . I'm sure I remember one of those gaslamps that stuck out of the wall , rather than being on a post . Later in life , about 1958 , there was definitely a Somalese cafe on there , open much later than most English cafes at that time and we used to call in there on our way home from wherever . But the main thing I remember about Button Lane was its shape ------a crooked lane that , more or less followed the Moor from Moorhead , down to Fitzwilliam Street -------or in today's terms from the bottom of Cambridge Street to where the Salvation Army building is now . ----------As I said , on a foggy night , walking down Button Lane was a Dickensian experience !!
