Albany Road / Butts

Hi Rob, I always thought the Hen & Chicks was down Queens Road? Became "The Fowl & Firkin"

Hi Mick, I think it's now called the Aardvark and I'm assuming that it used to be opposite an annex of the college as Rob mentions. It doesn't look like it would have had a Union Jack frontage but that might have been a banner?

There was the Russell Arms as well although that closed in '68.

Hi Neil, would that have been where the petrol station is now?

Slightly further NW Mick from what I can tell but pretty much yes.

Anyone else agree this might be Butts looking towards Queens Road?

Also following my earlier post#200 looking at the David Fry collection on CD - this one ties up nicely with the view west - the junction with Gordon Street on the left with St Thomas' hidden -

Oh, most definitely.... at least I hope so, because that's how I labelled my own copy of this postcard.
