hauxwell   233 #13 Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) I remember my mum taking me in a cafe that was built of wood, it was on the corner of Snig Hill and Castle Street,  just above where theThe Police Headquarters is now. They did a lovely instant all milk coffee and egg salad roll sandwich. Was it called, The New Stand Cafe?  I remember going in one with that name but it could be somewhere else.  Edited March 22, 2020 by hauxwell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It was a single storey building... It was actually the Centre Spot on Snig Hill that opened some time before 1964. The buildings there were demolished in 1971 and so it by then must have moved to King Street, as shown in the April 1971 photo. Here is a link to a scan from a 1970 Kelly's directory showing businesses on that part of Snig Hill. https://i.postimg.cc/6QqG1xY7/001.jpg Edited March 22, 2020 by hillsbro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The next one I have is the 1971 edition and they are listed there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Also in that vicinity between the Centre Spot café and Sugg's sportswear was another log cabin type of structure that sold newspapers, cigarettes etc from big drop down window, a place similar to the one in Bridge Street bus station, perhaps the same owners ?
