Grimsby Bull Ring
I was a teenager at the time of the photo. I remember cycling through the Bull Ring at a heck of a pace having picked up speed coming down Deansgate Bridge,
then having to brake hard to negotiate the chicane into Victoria Street.
You can clearly see centre right the top of the underground toilets which I believe are still there.
If instead of going into Victoria Street you turned left, on the right was the Black Swan, affectionately known as the Mucky Duck. There was another pub/hotel on the opposite side of the road to the Black Swan but I can't remember its name.
All of the buildings in the foreground were demolished, but I think the building to the right of the white one in the background is Chambers Coffee Shop, the smells coming from there were amazing.
Sadly most of the old buildings have gone, along with the character of the town.
