Summary
editDescriptionFulwood Road, Broomhill - geograph.org.uk - 1144894.jpg |
English: Fulwood Road, Broomhill. When I worked at Wade & Ellis, 934074 983944 during the late '50s and early '60s, the shops here were very different. For a start, the shop frontages were, more or less, where the inside edge of the traffic island is. When they were demolished, the South Sea Hotel went with them. The shops included Patrick's, Haberdashers - Horace Cooke, Watch Repairers - Arthur Davy & Sons Ltd., Pork Butchers and General Grocers - H Naylor, Decorator - Lampost, Pet Stores - Collins, Bakers - Sine Electric Co. Ltd., Electrical Goods - Ellen Summers, Tobacconists and Shinnah Ltd., Ladies Outfitters.
There was a passageway between the pet stores and the decorators, which led up some steps to a courtyard, houses, what appeared to be redundant stables, a Sports Good Manufacturers and Spooner Road. The courtyard was probably used to offload goods for the shops and beer barrels for the pub, but I never saw any delivery vehicles use it in the six years I worked for Wade & Ellis. Well, the Cottage Industry was demolished, the South Sea Hotel got rebuilt https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1006967 and a new block of shops went up, but instead of using the courtyard for parking, the shops were pushed back and a car park was built on their roofs. I don't know why this all came about, nor if anyone thought it was an improvement, but the car park seem to have brought conflict https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1007127 and the South Sea Hotel just seems to have been dumped around the corner https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1006975 |
