kevvy Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 The building on Suffolk Road besides the Funeral place was WW Laycocks. Walter Fox and Partners building is across the road and is now the Leadmill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buildings in question did belong to Walter Foxs old Tom who used to fetch the sarnies lived there and was a bit of a caretaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregnig Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Can remember the turntable on what we used to know as the fish dock. Holidaymakers cars used to be loaded there on to the Motorail train to Scotland. Can also remember the circus unloading the animals off the train at the fish dock & parading them through the town up to the big top on Devonshire Street.
