Further up North Road was access between the parish hall and this building to Laurie Gibson\u2019s butchers barn and slaughter-house. The bottom half of this building was used to store the stalls for the Market Place, the upper part being occupied as a house by a family called Lindsey. All were demolished along with the council yard for the car park. The house built out onto the road with the lancet window is Forge House, with the smithy next towards the parish hall. Ally Watson later used the smithy building for his dairy and milk round. The first shop on the left was Gibsons butchers.\u00a0 The shop opposite used to belong to Billy Clark, no relation, who played for Loftus Albion in the Northern League. Then Jim Kelly\u2019s off-licence, his wife was a member of the Trillo (ice cream) family.\u00a0 Clarks shop next to the butchers was formerly Cyril Whitlock\u2019s grocers.\u201d Can anybody assist with dating this alteration?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Image courtesy of Jean Hall\u00a0 and\u00a0thanks to Eric Johnson for the updates.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p>North Road (earlier called Lambs Lane) around 1900 &#8211; from a T.C.
