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???

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.
