WEST STREET

Although this photograph was taken as comparatively recently as 1960 there have been many demolitions in this lower half of the West Street. At the left there is a large gap in the buildings just below the old G.P.O Garage, while further down the tall Sherrys edifice has lost two of its storeys. The bottleneck at the bottom of the street has gone and the street is now of uniform width. Other causalities are the Sports Stadium and the Odeon Cinema which were at the right though hardly visible in the photograph. Traffic was less of a problem than it is today.
