I wonder when it was taken? Quite a while ago judging by the cars!

Is that the old County Hospital chimney in the background?

Definitely the late 60's, there's no Castle Hall grey turret in sight!

Wow! Those trees planted on the roundabout have certainly matured wonderfully. Great at this time of year - certainly 'shield' the rest of the road now!

That's the Mac's chimney which was demolished many years back. Most of the old McMullen photos show it if you get to see any.

Thanks James007 & Donostia, I've got no recall of the Mac's brick chimney. I only remember the hospital one as I was most upset when it was removed. I always did have a thing about tall structures as a kid, it must of been the Fred Dibnah effect [:I]
