Good Afternoon Leodian,
Some time ago i seem to remember you posting a picture of some Carving or Emblem high up on a building on New York Street. Although it looks a much different Colour stonework. Do you remember what it was ?
Next door to it was Pilkingtons Glass (Now Mecca Bingo) Not the widest of Building's but maybe just possibly have some connection with what is under discussion.
The bottom was a Sandwich shop in those days and i see by the Picture i have found that it is still a sort of Sandwich place these days.
I am Not sure that if the folks buying food from either there or the Coop would do so if they knew the history of the area.
Firstly the opposite side of Cross York Street to the Schoolroom was a succession of Wholesale meat sellers up to the Ice House and it seemed that there where the minimal health checks. Carcases were carried out and loaded into Vehicles ect.
..............................................................................................................................
As regards the Slaughter House on New York Street . The Storage underneath that was used by the Wholesale Fruit Market had Rats by the Thousands. Not surprising as the Beasts / Cattle were Driven from Marsh lane Rail yards to be killed.##
I certainly would not want one of those Ground Floor Apartments around that area.
