Plain Talker Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 ;) *chuckle* No, Homebase at Woodseats was never at Meadowhead before Morrisons... ;) Before the sales units that were in the vicinity of Homebase, it was a quarry. You can still see the evidence of the quarry at the back of the land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 And before morrisons/safeways was there on Meadowhead, it was a Finnigans builder's yard. Decades before that it was a quarry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuttsie Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Di anyone here work for Gleesons when it was there? Worked for Gleesons so many times that I have forgotten half the jobs we were on in the 60's, inc the Tower blocks at Norfolk Park [where have they gone]. Also Finnegans the last job being St Pauls Catholic School on Granville Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
