And how about that for a bus stop with proper signage and numbers. None of this twitter, twatter, instogrim, fatbook sync your phone for latest arrivals or flashing arrival times via a satellite.

You just stood there, with your bucket obviously and waited and waited and waited and waited!! And a proper tin bucket at that. None of your pishy plastic split up the side, dont place hot ashes in, made in China and sold in B and M stores type bucket. But a real mans bucket likely made in a factory by men who wore bunnets and smoked Woodbine, the type of bucket sold in drysalter shops by a man in a brown overcoat who could also sell you mousetraps, a pound of nails or a new string mop head if the mop youd bought the wife for her birthday was wearing out.

I’ve checked the cinemas website and there is nothing about it getting a new front onto it. It was originally called The County opening in 1939 and was renamed The George in 1954. I live just round the corner from this building ,which is located on the corner of Portobello High St and Hope lane, just across the street from Bellfield St. I never new it as the George, that was in Bath St. It became a bingo Hall in the 1960''s as my late mum used to work in it. It later became a nightclub called Misty''s. It's now been converted into a block of flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More bizarrely the Len Lothian building is grade A listed 11 Bankhead Broadway, Sighthill Industrial Estate An A-listed large warehouse block designed in 1949-50 by Stewart Sim, Ministry of Works architect.
