Street Names

Hi, hope this helps. This was taken from an upstairs room across the way. The Slaters Arms would have been sited NEXT to what you possibly remember as a newsagents for years, then it became part of Clarksons Bikes, in other words it would have been at the top of what we know as Broadway (but in those days t'was Marquis Street). The Slaters Arms was demolished c.1934, to make way for Broadway, and if you look closely at the top of the building, you can see where the pub would have been attached. The Hope and Anchor pub is at the other side of the shop premises.
Hope this helps a little, but you are possibly far too young to remember the pub.
