My mum probably wont, she was Dad's second wife, but my brother's mum, more than likely will.

My step father ( Ron Chatterton) and myself used to work for Ted Beer on the early 1950s. I used to live on Bethel Street on which the tyre place used to stand. The other corner of the yard was was on Hoyle Street. This yard was an old water holding area in the event of fires during the war.

I was on Meadow Street last week. Sadly the Meadow pub has just been demolished. Most of Malinda Street is fenced off and waiting to be pulled down as well.

Shame, the last remaining 'oldie' on Meadow Street has gone.

 

This picture I took is probably one of the last ones of it...:(

Yes the Meadow has been taken from us,the last building on the main side of the street, I got down there the day after they had flattened it, and I was quite sad about it all, they never salvaged anything, the beautiful stained glass window and even the pub sign have been destroyed. They said it took just three hours to destroy the building.three hours to destroy happy memories...I took these pictures,not much to show, it was where people sang and families laughed,that is all.....

 

hope this works....
