The vacancy/house full sign is turned round from time to time. That's the only sign of occupancy, we never see anyone go in or out.

don't think so terry looked much the same as it was.
must be a bit of a shock to a weary traveller that has booked in there.
where exactly is the house at the top/centre of the picture?

It is Charlie's house, which is only about 15/20 years old, the original having burnt down at some point. I think it was the site of the bandmasters house
Been nice knowing you :)

It was called Wood St,because at that time the wood yard was there before it went down to the docks.
