Just got back from a train journey with the missus and was directed to the rear of the station as police have cordoned off the front entrance. Anyone know what's happened ?
2 youngsters in hospital with stab wounds
Awful place , dreadful views as you come out, offices half empty , half empty cafes , beggars , bolshie taxi drivers , probably looks better empty , keep it cordoned off is my advise , another shit show of planning , up the revolution .
Yeah - it was loads better back in the day...
Temperence Town.jpg
I find the new buildings a bit brutal looking.
Great photo.
I always thought Temperance Town was over towards where the old ice-rink used to be?
That photo seems to show the area immediately to the left as you exit the station.
However, I will bow down to your greater knowledge - you and BLUETIT probably had many a night out on the ale in Temperance Town.
Erm…Temperance Town, as the name suggests there were no nights out there. The developer who financed & built it in the 19th century was a strict teetotaller. Not one drinking establishment in the area. The father in law was born there in the 1920s, he ended up on the committees of the Docks Non Political Club & The Ex Servicemen’s, loved a drink all his life, he certainly railed against his roots
The area around the old ice rink, Bute Terrace, Mary Ann St etc was notorious for its shebeens and drinking dens, no evidence of the temperance movement there.
