Incredible but the hippodrome did fit on there.
The bottom back street or path from ellison st to the tenement had a red brick wall about 10 feet high give or take a bit, starting at the gates to the bus depot yard at the bottom of the street and running parallel with the hippodrome through to more gates that opened out onto the tenement finishing about in line to the back of the Hippodrome. So the path was about as wide as a back street(that's a bit vague but it saves any arguments) behind the first bit of the wall was the dustbin area where all the tickets and cigarette packets where dumped(I bet I had a full collection in those days) then after this area the wall became the side wall of a single storey slate roofed building that ran to the tenement end of the path, the building itself was not very wide and I think they where storerooms but not sure?.
see I told you I would bore you
thanks
Tony
ps the cars that where parked in a row on the bottom right hand of the st where in front of the yard wall.
