Perhaps Bob or someone can tell me when my old house was demolished and will there be any pictures in any archives anywhere.

When they knock every thing down in Pit St, retarmaced the road, installed 4 sets of unsyncronised traffic lights, & called it East Gate, made right cock up of the traffic flow.

The chippy on the corner was run by Robertshaw's for a while, the Chapel further up became a car repairers, I seem to remember a tyre merchant operating in that street as well, had to attend a fire there.
