  Post-war development is probably a good description. Until the road was dualled the dock wall came right up to the road with hardly enough space to walk on a narrow path as I remember, with Crundalls wood yard and the Harbour Board social club at the town end. A lot of changes were made at that end when the York St bypass was constructed. I guess from the way Townwall St suddenly ended going nowhere that the plan post war was always to extend it along Snargate St

  Most interesting Paul.
  Was Harry Howe the gentleman who came to our WI some years ago to talk about collecting old 78s records? (I have a considerable collection myself, with wind-up gramophone) Was he connected to trading standards department also?

  Thanks Paul for the info on the 1945 excavations.
  1930s was an approx. guess on the picture I posted of the excavations in Snargate Street, these are probably the same ones Paul mentiioned with the link to the Flicker page, it is quite likely the excavations were immediately post-war during the clearance work taking place.

  Maybe with all these historical and facinating picture`s appearing on here, PaulB could do something like Phil`s nature page`s on here, and group them all together? With so many thread`s now, I do know that a number of historic picture`s placed on the forum last year and this have disappeared into obscurity. Would it be a good idea, or does it take up too much computer space?
  Tell them that I came, and no one answered.
