THOTH`s Oakleaf Quiz-002
 

Another two - parter.

Name of the Pub being demolished and the name of the arrowed building.

Re: THOTH`s Oakleaf Quiz-002
 

The pub is the Star which was in Nuttall Street. My uncle Bob Wilkinson's hardware shop was about quarter of a mile further along on the other side of the road. I don't know the answer to the second part of the question.

Re: THOTH`s Oakleaf Quiz-002
 

I can't even see the building.

Re: THOTH`s Oakleaf Quiz-002
 

Star Inn junction of Nuttall St and South St, next door but one to Dickey Scents. That part of Nuttall St was demolished in 1966, I ahve several photos around that area. Quarter of a mile further on and you would have been up Rileys Hill.

That Building looks like Highams.

Re: THOTH`s Oakleaf Quiz-002
 

A question to Retlaw & Cashman -- are you saying that the arrowed building is Highams Mill ?

Re: THOTH`s Oakleaf Quiz-002
 

think it was warburtons mill thoth

Re: THOTH`s Oakleaf Quiz-002
 

I know that the arrowed building is not very clear, in fact Gobsmacked said he couldn`t see the building ( try Specsavers or a duster on the monitor ) consider a smiley here.

However, just think about the location of the building in respect of its elevation -- then try again.

Highfield House, Lydia Street and The Star Inn ?

Hi Retlaw,

I wonder if you would be kind enough to either post your pictures of Nuttall Street on the forum or PM them to me. I have great interest in that area and I am particularly looking for shots of my granparent's, later my uncle's, hardware shop at 75 Nuttall Street.

Thank you,

John.
