Richard_FM Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I wonder if James Herriot noticed the name Farnon from the shop when he needed an alias for his sibling co-vets when writing his books. Almost everyone in it was based on someone real but had he changed their names to protect the innocent. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't convinced that was Whitehall road as I never remembered a bridge going over it. But after a bit of googling I realised that it's the end at the Durham Road. https://maps.app.goo.gl/DSs4KiGJCkTHWSzo9 Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooSavvy Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Ref: Get Carter Multi..... I think I commented [years??ago..] on how I watched the mahoisive hole being dug [for metro interchange] in what was that 'rough land' car parking space .. and what looked like a 4 storey building built in it, up to 'street level'. Ma n Pa shopped at the supermarket, under car park, and I loved checking out the view.... *Bonus Brucie Points, here... When the central motorway was being cut through the city.... Large cement 'voids' were created beneath the route for the [then not even begun] Metro to access the Grey's Monument station, in from the Coast via Manors station 🧐 chaseracer and Blake's Den 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
