Shops of yore

Does anyone know where Parkinson's Art Supplies were sometime in the 60's? I have them showing as at No.26 Cope Street in the 1957 Directory but that was not right at a junction looking at maps (next but one to the junction with Dale Street). That's the latest Commercial Directory I have though - anyone got a later one? Pic thanks to Amanda Kerr on FB -

I recon it could be 26, with number 1 Dale street next to it. There's even a change in the paintwork.

Hi Neil according to the CET 26 Cope Street Opposite College of Art and New Cathedral until they moved in 1962 to 116 Gosford Street 100 yards from the Gaumont. Take your pick !!

Thanks both. Cope Street seems the more likely - its just on the 1950 Map No.1 Dale Street is showing as the building on the corner - looking at the pic you would imagine that would be the Art shop address not 26 Cope Street?

The two could have been combined?

I think you have it Helen (again!) - and you Anne - Cheers.

Helen its not the same building captured in this one is it - rear right? I don't think it is but can't be far off -

A favourite photo of mine. The photo is taken from Cope Street, looking at New Street. Dale Street was behind the photographer and to the right.

Ahh yes sorry Helen - I was looking the other way!
