Smithford Street (inc. Ram Bridge)

Could it be the White Swan on the corner of Hill Street? If I have got the direction right it would be around where the green area is on the corner of Hill Street and Corporation Street.

I'm not sure where the Co-op was but were the buildings on the left these?

The Co-op was the whole of that building, I am sure it also linked to the one in the precinct and it was a bit complicated getting from one to the other. Us ladies would have entered from the precinct as the ladies' department was on the upper floor, although it was for older people's fashions. Our son stayed in an airBnB recently in the Co-op building so they could go to a concert at the football ground. The whole of the Co-op is the diagonal building in the centre of this Google map picture. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Helen I don't think so, I think they are the last couple of buildings left in West Orchard and are blocking the view of the newer (later 1930s) block in Corporation Street. I think the building on the very left is the City Arms, I'm sure I've bookmarked an earlier photo (c 1952?) of this site before the 1950s Co-op went up. The buildings in the foreground being demolished are the ground floor remains of the prewar Co-op patched up after the Blitz. Geoff

I had got my bearings wrong, I thought the buildings in Neil's picture were opposite on Corporation Street. Looking at the picture of the City Arms on the Pub page does show lots of drainage downpipes off the roof. Neil's picture also shows a white downpipe so I go with Rocksolid. City Arms.
