I remember Laird St very well, I was born in no. 13 and my mother lived there nearly 60 years until she died in 1998. Anyone remember the sweet shop on the corner of Brill St. before it became a tool hire shop. What about the chippy opposite the corner of Brassey St and Brill St where the frier was heated by coke and fish and chips cost a wholme shilling!

I live in brill street.. And dont remember the sweet shop far too young to remember the shop on the top has also been a cafe... There was a butchers at the bottom end of brill street on the corner in brassey street im so desperate to find a photo graph of it.. There was also a news agents on brassey street it was on the corner of bray.. Also as well harry hairs shop used to be in the derelict building opposite the fish and chip shop which is still there and the same guy still runs it george.. The building that occupied the hair dressers had a cafe next door also when the hair dressers closed down it turned into a second hand shop for a while before being closed competely and let derelict for so long they have fixed it up abit know and turning it into flats but its a slow process cause the owner had a warning fix it up or get it demolished buy the council.. This building apparantly used to be a printers and used to be a half way weighbridge the bridge is still visible but has been concreated over abit to park a car.. happy smile

Has the hut gone now? Couldn't tell how old it was years ago because it must have had at least 50 coats of paint on those bricks, though a house a few yards up the road on the same side of the hut was the victim of a bombing during the war, from the photo I saw the crater was quite big.
