The Caledonian pub was at the end of Lyon st.
Very nice to see this view of Mossfield Mill and the Caledonian Pub sign, the pub was on the corner of Lyon Street I find it hard to remember the Caledonian Pub but I do remember very well the second hand shops along Vernon Street where I would stand and look into them with wonder I would walk in and for sixpence I would walk out out with a big pile of comics Superman and the like I cant say how many wind up gramaphones I bought, Mother used to say not another gramaphone Dennis To me these are very happy memories
Did you keep the comics – I bet they would be worth a bob or two now 🙂
I am sorry to say I do not have any comics I also do not have any wind up gramaphones but I do have half a tin of Columbia steel gramaphone needles on the lid it says use only ten times they would be about 60 years old now and if I could get into the tin I could tell you what condition they are in ok I hope
