NeilsYard Coventry	16 of 48 Thu 4th Oct 2018 9:13am Great shot of Gas Street not long before it went - August 1964. Demolition has already started. I think this is at the SW end, the photographer standing with his/her back to Hill Street, basically looking the same way/view as my earlier post but a lot further along/down. (C) John Weir

Slash1 northampton	18 of 48 Mon 22nd Feb 2021 12:55pm Am wondering if anyone ever worked at E Laxon & Company during the time that it was located in Gas Street? Think that it moved in the early 1960's.

Laxon & Company, Wholesale Grocers and Provision Merchants, which was located in Gas Street. Would you remember that? As I understand it they relocated to Charter Avenue, a few years later, by which time I had left to join the Royal Navy. I also understand that the area was required for the Ring Road. Hi Slash. Hope you have a better response this time than your previous request

Helen F Warrington	27 of 48 Thu 27th Jan 2022 8:31pm That would be the Radford Brook next to the house, I think, Mick? As a kid I used to live and play near reservoirs with bombed out buildings at the dam end of the lowest one. In the stream running out we found all sorts of military stuff. One summer there was a drought and an unexploded bomb was found just opposite our house. Our parents were horrified at what we got up to. They'd no idea all the stuff that was there. We didn't confess until we were adults.
