Only have vague memories of trains running on that line as it closed in 1967 when I was 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not looking in to Bristo Street basically from the corner where Parkers old store would have been. The shop on the corner I think is at Marshal Street.
