Advert 1960. I'm surprised by the chair lift - thought it was installed mid 60s.

Can't get my head around this. I thought it was later but the film "I thank a fool" was made in 1962 and I have some private photo's that were taken at the time and the chairlift is definitely there.

Should ask my uncle, he did the brickwork at the bottom.

I seem to remember the chairlift getting taken down for repair or possibly moving the top station for a while. Perhaps that is the cause of confusion???


There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

That map that nightwalker posted is great. As I have nothing better to do at the moment I have overlayed it over the currant street layout. Its better to have it on google earth so you can fade it in and out.

What a brilliant idea, Kevin. Just sorry that the old map I found isn't better quality.
