Based on the Eiffel Tower - I have an old rare plate of it somewhere from my car boot days .....

….am I right in thinking I remember seeing it? Can only think it started getting dismantled after the war but part of it remained until after the fire.

…erm, wrong thread Joey but we never tire of seeing the ‘little curly Alan Ball’.

Trying to get my bearings with this, looks to be the tram coming down St Domingo road (where I was born) but that would mean the school where the pub is? (Unless the pic is 'reversed'? )

….yep, I’m sure it’s the junction with St Domingo Road. Tommy Whites would eventually go up further up the hill on the left of the pic. It’s a great pic, not seen it before.

Yep the tower Gardens were fantastic too I have a reproduction book somewhere of its history - the ballroom etc was for the elite when built .... then top pop groups featured there in the 1960s -

We used to get our milk off them, seems like they had dozens of those electric milk carts

Edit: there's was a TIZER bottling factory up that Road in the 50s and 60s too

Still think it's 'reversed' looking up that way would put St George's church on the right?

The photograph surely can't be reversed as the writing on the pub is correct.

Good point, so that 'steeple' is Our Lady Immaculate? Seems 'low down'.
