COVER ILLUSTRATION: In 1940 the area around the junction of
Wellesley Road and Townwall Street was almost entirely destroyed by a
stick of bombs. In the centre of the picture, behind the telephone pole,
is Buckland’s carpenter’s shop (see pages
205/206 of the last issue) The two gable ends left of centre are of
the Fox Inn at the corner of St. James Street and Fox Passage. The main
building on the right was almost on the line of Wellesley Road which,
transformed, still connects Townwall Street with the Sea Front. We are grateful to Mr Chambers for allowing us to use his picture. |
