Snellings The Butchers
Not so much as a memory but an observation. The butchers shop shown in foreground - Snellings - is still there and the board to the front of the railings had what was on that week at the local cinema - The Commodore, long since demolished.

Moved To Barns Green In 1958

The fence on the right marks the extent of Shabden Park and its disappearance now gives a much more open appearance across attractive downland.
Concrete tiles, soldier arches and stretcher- bond brickwork combine in this aesthetic desert. There is nothing more to add.
It is late Norman, apart from the large pointed window over the middle arch; on either side of this are two smaller arches which led to the north and south aisles.
To the right is the Town Hall, which was originally situated over the north end of the bridge, with only a narrow arch for traffic.
Horse-drawn carriages and motorised vehicles had to take a much longer nine-mile inland route via Blythburgh. This pretty village with its broad green is now popular with artists.
St Peter`s Church was built in 1846, replacing a much earlier place of worship on this site.
The posters and the banner underneath the new arch suggest slightly risqué entertainment.
It remains a state-of-the-art example of concrete construction, though the third arch from the west had to be reinforced with a pair of inner arches.
This photograph shows the graceful architecture of Maidenhead Bridge, distinguished by its elegant arches, striking stonework and fine balustrade.
Above the entrance there is a much-decayed lion rampant, emblem of the Percy family, and above that are corbels that once carried a machicolation to enhance the defensive capability of the flanking
The opening in 1912 of the County Hall in Cathays Park provided a much-needed centrally contained administrative centre for Glamorgan.
The magnificent aluminium figure is mounted on a bold concrete arch with the cylindrical organ case, itself adorned with large Pre- Raphaelite figures.
The old Royal was demolished in the 1960s; it thrives today as a much smaller hotel called the Humber Royal, part of the Forte hotel chain.
Potton Clock House was opened in 1955, replacing a much older building. The original clock tower stood in an area known as The Shambles, and was surrounded by small shops.
The character of Antrim's coast is nowhere better expressed than where it is possible to see the black basalt overlying the white chalk rocks, as here at the Wishing Arch.
The arched walk under the Town Hall is known as the Butterwalk.
The chancel arch was rebuilt by Johnson, a Melton Mowbray architect, who achieved little of note. His work appears to have been virtually confined to the immediate area, which may be just as well!
In 1645, during the Civil War, one arch was removed and replaced with a drawbridge. The drawbridge was demolished and the round-headed arches were rebuilt in 1716.
