Vol 170 p 41 Engraved view of ‘Bank Hey Street, from the corner of Adelaide Street, 1870’s’ The
cottage on the left, later the site of Woolworths, belonged to Robert Bird, a draper and
pioneer Methodist. Across the road is the building remembered as Lockhart’s café and
the Coronation Rock Company. The spired building is St John’s Infants School of
1856. It was taken over by John Bennett, a draper, in 1888 and later by R.H.O.Hills
whose first bazaar had been in Church Street on the site of the Clifton Palace Cinema.
Engraved view of ‘Euston Street’, one of Blackpool’s “Lost” streets, now covered by
‘British Home Stores’. It was a street of small businesses, stables and warehouses
dating from the 1830’s. Leonard Dews pawnbrokers is just visible but some will
remember Whewell’s Bazaar, Crossley’s leather shop and Lewis Levine, jeweller and
pawnbroker. On the right is Oddfellows Arms, sometimes known as Taylor’s Arms
after the landlord William Taylor, there in 1870’s. The Oddfellows Arms closed in
1923 and was turned into a warehouse. Just beyond it is an entry through to the
covered market.. At the bottom on the left was the Castle Inn facing Market Street,
whilst at the Corporation Street end was the Market Hotel. It was all swept away in
1939 and the site was used as a car park and open market during the ensuing fifteen
years.
