Groove beleives the temperance movement was responsible for dozens of pubs closing on Union.rd more or less overnight. The drink Vimto was also borne out of this temperance movement. There was a Bell's temperance movement in Accy and Groove thinks thats were Belfield.rd got its name, being situated near Bells temperance ground-Stanleys original home.
