Club Garden Road

Does anyone have any pictures of 144-148 Club Garden Road, Cabinet makers/upholsterers in 1940's , or know exactly where it would have been, given the odd numbering.

Sorry I don't have any photos Ian but I think the premises were across the road from the end of Hobart Street. That would match up with the odd numbers on the side that still exists in its original form and I also recall shops being at that end of Club Garden Rd. Lower down there were houses.

Yes, on the west side of the road between Salmon Street and Sharrow Lane - here is a scan from the 1942 Kelly's Directory.

Hi wagginfinger - you have a good memory - here is a scan from the 1954 directory showing the shops at the top end of Club Garden Road, including Mrs Winifred Allan, hardware dealer at No 168. By 1964 the business was in the name of W. & J. Edge. Just around the corner at 118 Sharrow Lane was "Ernest Blenkiron, pork butcher".

I had a school pal, Graham Carpendale who lived on Club Garden Road.

There was a plumber lived near to Sharrow Lane at the top of Club Garden. Stan Wood, he had a daughter Susan who I briefly fancied as a teenager, lovely memories !
