Re: Area around Stag Pub
I remember those buildings - the photograph must have been taken before the clock was put up, as there is a lamppost where it now is.
Reading from the Stag, the first shop front was Libbertons Printworks, the second was the Darby & Joan Club, run by the WVS. Over the frontage is carved "County Mart", can't remember the date, but it seems to have been a co-op once.
We must have been a lawless lot, to merit such a magnificent Magistrates Court and Police Station!
Does anyone know what the clock was for or to commemorate? Must have a look next time I'm there (before I go into the Stag, me eyes don't work any too well on the way out!).
