Re: cinemas
In the late forties and early fifties as you came up Oxford Street to join Blackburn Road, on the left corner was the Co-op furniture department and on the right corner the Co-op clothes department.
Myrtle house was Doctor Devlin’s surgery and next to that towards the town centre was the Co-op plumber and painters. Then came our house (148) rented from the Co-op and we shared the back yard with the plumbers and painters. Next to our house was the Co-op clothes department. Then came the top of Oxford Street.
Years later the plumbers and painters shops and our house became an amusement arcade.
The picture is of my brother (in shirt sleeves) with Jim Laycock sat on the wall in front of our house - 148.
