Old street scenes thread

[cms206]

I presume this is the Linwood Rootes factory?

 

It actually isn't - I *think* this is the Clydeside Expressway looking Partick Bound, not far past where the tall ship is now. The old sugar house? is in the background, but the flats are throwing me...

[Albert Ross]

These flats? Now demolished.

While on the subject of the old Linwood plant, these still exist... but probably not for long. Apologies for bigness!

What do you mean spamming the thread,it's just that you are so thick you wouldn't know what a Forward Look Mopar was if it run you over.

What is a forward look Mopar then? (I'm sure a Mopar is a type of Yankie engine isn't it?)

Spot on Trigger,it's a Chrysler or Dodge or DeSoto or Plymouth and in the Forward Look era was usually a Hemi V8 engine with pushbutton transmission fitted between the chassis rails.

[Mr Lobster]

So rather than trying to direct us to some other site, hows about posting some pictures of the Forward Fuck Mopars in actual street scenes, what with this being a thread for posting pictures of street scenes.

Fine Fare - I remember them - they introduced value ranges to the UK! Remember the yellow packaging they had?

I've just had a a look at the HEEOWGE original scanned version of this pic in the flickr account. What seems to be a little car park at the end of the row of shops is in fact a used car lot selling 30s chod including a Standard 9, Ford Y and some Austin 7s by the look of it.

 

The hardware emporium has some ace stuff on offer including extending ladders for 70 shillings and wall paper at 6/11 a roll. Not sure if Madame Vivienne's is the right type of salon for just a short back and sides though!

[messerschmitt owner]

hadn't quite realised I'd scanned the Hadleigh card in so big.

 

Have a tank as compensation ...

not so heavy haulage!

If the photograph is looking north-west (and I think it is, I remember those warehouses) then it's the Knightswood flats in the background, and they're still in use.

 

The granary has been demolished though. I remember going there in the 70s with my dad to get some grain for the chickens we kept (and for "seeding" the marsh where he went shooting!)

I think that granary was the largest brick-built building in Europe ... Factoid!

"Ooh it's terrible the traffic these days"

 

Love it!

Found a big pile of photos today with some interesting forrin autoshite...

 

Probably a tenuous street scene; anonymous street with early Renner 25.

 

 

 

Moving swiftly on, some Portuguese street scenes...

That's what it is! I've got a late 80s edition of the Complete History of the Japanese Car kicking about but I forgot to check it...

[michiel]

Yep!

Just found a shite goldmine on flickr.

 

For some weird reason, back in the late 1980s/early 1990s I took photos of vehicles parked in the street. I have literally thousands of them, and here is a small sample.

Note that none of these vehicles are 'preserved' or 'heritage', they are just everyday workhorses. Many of them have probably scrapped now I would think.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy the rest.

Thanks for posting those Tayne, what an amazing collection of photos. I feel like I've been transported back to 1989

[barrett]

Yeah, those are great. I actually spent hours last night looking through them but forgot to say thanks then

Excellent thread resurrection too, this deserves to have some new life breathed into it.

[Louise2cv]

Cor! Thanks Tayne! Proper Autoshite stuff!

All Edinburgh I'd say mid 80-s to early 80's. The Vanden Plas is navigating the construction work of the City Bypass in the early 80's.

 

That light blue disabled car belonged to a neighbour of mine - it is parked on Moray Place slap bang in the middle of the Georgian West End - properties were still affordable there in the mid/early 80's - I remember my folks traded down in 1984 and sold a big terrace in the suburbs for a 5 bed 3 reception room Georgian Flat in off Moray PLace, 2 mons wallk to Princes street - the modest cars show how reasonable property was rond there at the time. The flat was huge - rooms the size of tennis courts 20foot ceilings etc...sell these days for over a million.

 

The 23 Bus in Lothian Livery is an Atlantean I think and is on Bruntsfield Place heading into town

 

The rusty 1300 is parked at the foot of The Mound and on a Sunday as it is on a yellow line....no parking there these days!

 

 

Spot the Ami 8 with the roof rack on the photo with the bumperless red MG!!
