Photos on North Cross Road

Thanks to whoever's responsible for these. Thee's always someone looking at them

Seconded. Though the one next to The Palmerston with the motorbike and cars labelled 1905 seems a tad optimistic.

They are fantastic..

Can't resist a glance each time I pass.

They were the result of a Cleaner, Greener, Safer bid several years back. Quite a fuss at the time as coloured patterns originally proposed then changed to classic photos of the area. Great that UK Power Networks allowed them to be attached to their building.

If anyone has other old photos of the area let me know so we can consider finding another location to place some. Ore for public viewing.

James, these are new photos opposite the site of the original ones - these are on the wall next to the Palmerston!

If they were part of the original bid, wouldn't they have gone up at the same time?

There have also been some more photos added to those originally hung on the wall opposite the Palmerston. Fascinating, a lovely idea.

[Sue]

Ah, didn't realise that, sorry.

Must go and have a look!

I love these photos too.

What I'd love to find (and wonder whether the Great Exhibition still have it?) is 2 photos that used to hang in the CPT, One of the pub with a portrait of an old landlord in the corner. Not sure when this was from, but think it probably dated from the 50s. Then another similar thing from the 80s, with the then landlord Brian in the corner, and all the old regulars outside the pub. Would love to see that again.

Don't THINK my dad was in it, as he was probably inside, behind the bar at the time.

If I wanted old photos, I'd ask at the Local History Library. Up to their knees in them.

I'd love to get some copies of a couple of the photos on NX Road... does anyone know where from or how?
