Guess the Place

[shoot999]

Are they walkways to a place of interest? NT property or similar?

[John Walker]

There's another smaller and less substantial bridge serving a similar purpose behind the camera position.  Not industrial.

shoot999. Sad that Jezreels went but inevitable I suppose as the faith seemed to die out. Did they build something worthwhile in its, & the shops, place? I can still hear the conductor/ conductress calling out," Jezreels", on the M&D bus as it swung round the corner. Probably carried on well into the 60's even though the building was gone- a bit like " Seaplane works", on the Esplanade route.   Sorry, Moderator but "asides" seem to be more fitting as just that, rather than starting a new thread?

Quote from shoot999 :-This building is still there as far as I know. At least on GSV in 2019! 


The one I reffered to was Demolished some time ago.

Ah yes, thats the site of the old Jezreel towers which was demolished in the 60s. The Canterbury Street side of the site in your view was where the Jezreelites had their row of shops. Looked a bit tatty in the end with many of the shops boarded up. No wonder they knocked them down. Incidentally, in the background of your GSV  is the other more well known Jubilee Clips building that was situated on Watling Street.

Great Lines -moat?

Not there Pete - head east.  Lots of history in the area.

The bridge is possibly Victorian.

Thanks Shoot999.   An interesting one.  I could just make out the word 'COMPONENTS' on the old faded sign in some of the earlier street views.  I've lost count of the number of Jubilee Clips I've used over the years!


Next one.


Where is this and what is the use of the bridge?

[shoot999]

The vans outside are Jubilee vehicles.

Junction of Kimberley Road and Canterbury Street.  Called The Factory now - might be something to do with hair dressing.  If I'm right it looks like the road has been widen since the photo was taken.

You have it John. Called the Factory now, and called the Factory then! It was No 1 Factory, Jubilee Clips. The re-plating production shop. I was born just behind the factory in Pretoria Street and never knew of its connection to Jubilee Clips until I read about it on the old Forum.


It was being run by the widow of Commander Lumley; the inventor of the clip, as war approached. The story goes that when the men from the Ministry turned up to take over the running of this essential  business from a mere women; she promptly kicked them off the site and ran it herself for the duration.


Over to you

Numerous businesses listed there over a long period but not sure what it was when photo was taken.  Possibly Jubilee Components Ltd?

The Sunlight Laundry in Richmond Road

To far away,  grandarog was really close.

The big Factory building that used to stand at the top of Canterbury Street. Demolished a few years ago.

This building is still there as far as I know. At least on GSV in 2019! 


You are very close
