View along the Banks to the Railway Bridge...where the railings jut inwards are steps that went down to Men Toilets, i remember the steps being chunky and steep.
Lyn`s fish & chip shop is along this part No. 332 Henries Fish Restaurant.

Yes the sewing shop was there a long time. The last time I passed on a bus ( mid March ) it was closed then. I think had for sale signs in the window but could well be wrong. But I have seen it open this year. I also seem to remember that they serviced my sewing machine back in the 80s. It's now very redundant and reclining in a cupboard

Thought I'd start this off with a picture that I believe shows the Sewing machine shop discussed in the Dudley Studios thread.
Pretty sure I can see "CCB". Taken in the early '60s so if it's only just closed it must have been there quite some time.
