castleboy Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Would that be The Talbot. Thats right ALAN it was The Talbot , (it wasn't a quiz question by the way)hi hi .There was a few drinking places in a small area.If I remember rightly there used to be about 3 beer-offs say going towards/at Shrewsbury Rd/Glencoe Rd junction. ALAN you know the smilies/symbols , well on my android screen they disappeared about a week ago for some unknown reason. I often use them , but now miss them. You wouldn't know the reason why? Owl.

bracken Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I've just been looking at photos from that area. The phone box and the Park Baths chimney are the only familiar features for me in this photo, though I think I can just make out the house where Dr Wallis (I can't remember the name of the other doctor now) had his surgery before the the new surgery was built on this site in the 70s. The pub in that picture was before my time, as was the Picture House that stood on the site of the doctors' surgery. I remember both those sites being waste ground, though, before the surgery and the Trades & Labour club were built. Looking at Google maps, it seems that the building at the top of Talbot Road is a medical centre once again. Here's a photo from before Park Hill flats went up. Dr's Foggitt and Wallace !

Guest Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Dr's Foggitt and Wallace ! That's the one! He was a little older than Dr Wallis, and so retired earlier; Dr Wallis was still working at the medical centre in the late 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
