You'll never live it down on here pal. "Remember the time Arfur used the word ballustrades in reference to Roman columns?"

I've already had a couple of smiley requests about it.

I had a deep intake of breath when I first spotted my architectural faux pas, and then actually panicked when I realised the edit function had expired.

I very well might've gotten away with it on some other City forums, but not with the people of the calibre of OOCC.

:fedup:

Any thoughts on where this is? The end of the number 7 service used to be the bottom of Clive Street by the Marl. It ran from town down Penarth Road to Grangetown. The 7a used to turn left (into Paget Street?) at the lights at the junction with Clare Road and terminate at Avondale Road. I don't know what city services still run.

:sherlock:

Could be. I am struggling to remember the bus route, although I took it often enough. Maybe it went Tudor Road (Street) and left into Clare Road, rather than via Penarth Road.

Little snippet for you, considering the recent news about the House of Fraser, but did you know that part of the original town wall still stands inside
Yes, that makes sense now.

Here's another photo of Hayes House 1977

Used to be a decent record store in there, upstairs if I recall. Also a Halfords and a greggs

Yes, I knew about the town wall. This is excerpt from the article about the Oxford Arcade / Hayes House where I found the photo

It had been built on a boundary of the historic town wall, so archaeologists were called in to try and find remains of the wall, as well as 'Cock's Tower', a medieval watchpost and dungeon until around the 16th century.

Apologies to all readers for my use of the word Ballustrades above. Before everyone steams in to correct me, firstly it was spelt incorrectly, and secondly I obviously meant Roman Columns.

Balustrades are similar, but much shorter supports for railings / garden walls etc.

:thumbup:

anymore bad grammer or poor spelling , ppl will start confusing you with me
i think you gotta away with it Arf :thumbup:
