tsavo Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 having seen the comparative photos, i'm convinced jpg1 is from bottom of the moor. Still pretty sure jpg2 is from fargate looking towards barkers pool. on the left of barkers pool you can see the regent cinema (later the gaumont). This was built in 1927 to give an earliest date possible if correct. jpg3 still reminds me of heeley bottom. there was a kink in the road on the left if i'm not mistaken, (and i probably am), is it still there? (can't quite see to check from here.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transportfan Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 The first photo is most definitely at the bottom of The Moor known in those days South Street Moor at Ecclesall Road Junction. The "H" on the tram indicates it is travelling to Heeley. How others think that it is not in Sheffield is a mystery. In the far distance the Town Hall is very prominent. The second photo is Talbot Square Blackpool. The famous Yate's Wine Lodge is in the centre of the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the pics at this link: http://www.cyberpictures.net/blackpool/william.htm They were taken in 1962 but just one look at the architecture confirms it. So... Picture 1 - Bottom of Moor Picture 2 - Talbot Square Blackpool. Picture 3 - High Street Barnstaple Are we done?...... been a great thread tho' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedWizard Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I don't think we're quite done yet - Ilfracombe replaced Barnstable as a possibility, but still no conclusive photos. Great shout for the Blackpool photo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovabulrogue Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Are all talking about the same pic here? I think you guys are talking about Pic No 1 Pic No 3 - several of us think is a town in Devon - probably Barnstable Have a close up on this pic, it says Manufacturing Depot, blah, blah, Batstaple Art Pottery. It's not Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redted50 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 6 years on, it's definately Barnstaple !! I think the 1st one is def top of the moor & the 2nd one looks to me to be taken from just beside the G.P.O. aiming down Flat street.The 3rd one I can't get up on my screen for some reason.
