Yes Ray you right it was a billiard hall and later where i worked when i left school Raymond Electric, TV's radios and radiograms....served my apprentice there. Was an American company with the uk head office in London. The building was pulled down and a new Asda site was built there 4 years ago. It came under Gorton Manchester by about 10 yards, this was facing where you can see the boundary post.

Yes Ray, it was the Rota cinema and just came into Denton area like you say Tameside and was one of the only art deco designs around at the time, sadly demolished in 1960, i think well before its time. Will post a couple of pics of it.

Hi All here is another pic of the bulls head i would think late fifties. And the shop you can see in the distance is Gees green groceries, the son Donald Gee became a actor and appeared in many parts on TV. I can remember as a young lad seeing him delivering groceries on  his bike the ones with a large basket on the front. I lived further down from there Turnbull road i have quite a few pics of this area will root them out and post....happy days.

Hi. The reply you had saying that your photo is at the Bulls head is spot on. I was born and bred just down the road from here the church in the distance is Aspinal church, where i was married in 1960 also went to cubs and scouts there lot of happy memories.

Yes the cinema behind the phone box was the rota, that was on thornley lane, the top end of thornley was where Mike Doyle was born the City legend sadly passed away last year.

The tram number use to be the 17 i remember the last tram leaving there before the bus came into operation, that was the terminus the bus would go to Mersey square.

Great picture brought back a lot of treasured memories for me...thanks for posting, would you mind if i took a copy of it.

Regards.
David Mills.
