I remember it but thought it was between Avenue Parade and Water Street. I just remember seeing the name when we were waiting for coaches in the summer holidays on Melbourne Street.

There were some bus stops outide what is now known as the Old Tannery which used to be Mastabar and then Karimor. It was opposite them.
