Before the
Telephone Exchange was built in the late 1950s
the land at the
rear of the Castle Cinema was used as allotments.
Prior to that it was the gardens of the old Castle Hotel |

Geoff,
Regarding your question 'Does
anyone know these people?' in the Castle
Allotments, I have received
information from a Mr. Lewis Edwards a family
friend and a former resident
of Lamb Lane, that the couple in the photo are
Mr and Mrs Nicholas;
proprietors of the fish and chip shop in Glebeland
Street.
Keith Jones.
