The last one is a Ford Anglia van with window conversion.

Dipster remember that pub well, not a usual watering hole for me even though I only lived 3 mile away but one Christmas day night it was the only pub round us open so we went, someone had won a tray of eggs in a draw and not claimed the prize and some bright spark thought it a good idea as to who could swallow a raw egg, well one had to have a go and got it half way down and knew I was about to vomit so made for the door, got it open then up she came with half me dinner all over the “WELCOME” mat that was in the doorway, just flipped it over and went back in and carried on with me pint :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Buzzer

Was that lovely Cresta yours perchance?

No mate did not own a car then but had borrowed me dads Wolseley 690 and that was a big heavy old brute to drive, Buzzer

Cheapside, Barnsley looking towards Sheffield Road and Doncaster Road, with part of the open market on the left. Photo taken in the early/mid sixties, before that part of town was torn down and replaced with an unloved concrete monstrosity - which has recently been torn down and replaced by another soulless monstrosity, which will no doubt, in a couple of generations, repeat the cycle.

New Street, Barnsley , 1980s. The concrete Yorkshire Bank building, bottom left, was the first part of the Alhambra Centre development which replaced all the other shops on that side of the street. The large Co-op store at the top (with the clocktower), was destroyed (many say purposely) by fire a few years ago, along with its ornate cast iron frontage and window frames. Most of the buildings on the right hand side survive, and the neon Stork above Bailey’s Baby Shop windows is now on display at the Elsecar Heritage Centre. The lower half of the street is now pedestrianised.

Marshall’s cross, St Helens but who can name all the makes of vehicles in the shot, Buzzer
