THIS picture puzzler generated quite a few responses. 


Victor Davies correctly pointed out that it's the Old Co-op on Eccleston Street from years ago. 


He wrote: "At the yard behind the Co-op they bagged coal. My brother worked there when he left school." 


Kevin Finney added: "It is taken looking from the Nags Head to Liverpool Road.The shot shows the old Co-op store.


I have for many years tried to find a more interesting shot of this part looking the other way.There was a small row of buildings similar to those on Boundary Road at the corner of Cresswell St? They are of a similar construction.  I am still hoping." 


If anyone has such a photo, please get in touch with me. 


A regular reader, Winnie, phoned me to say she thinks she has such a photo, but will have to search. We all know that feeling.


And Bernard Graney writes: "The picture is of Eccleston Street Co-op stores it was also the centre for a warehouse, bakery, coal yard and stables and had a feeder railway line from the collieries.


"Later year the bakery closed and Krazy Kutz was started in 1967. I was the manager of Eccleston Street  from 1957 to 1958 and am nearly 91 years old.
I remember it all like yesterday. Hope this helps​."
