Tinsworth Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Does anyone have or know anywhere I can see a picture of the old cooper Cobb building (now demolished) at the bottom of the parkway, it was replaced by some blocks of flats about 6/7 years ago.

Tinsworth Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Thanks for the photos! Why do I always remember it being a tall and quite imposing building? I was only young. Was there any tall buildings around that area that I could have mistaken it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there any tall buildings around that area that I could have mistaken it for? You could be thinking of the rail goods depot, that was just below Frank Cobb and Co. Take a look at this view, looking down Broad Street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another possibility is the Corn Exchange, demolished (or what was left of it) in 1964 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
