This is a view I know well... From 14 to 16, I worked for Mick Clarke and then Steve Gleason at The Salad Bowl on Sitwell St... next door to Barton’s Butchers. There’s a drive way up the left hand side of the shop that served our store and a couple of flats as I remember.
I think that there was the abattoir for the butchers where the cars are parked that has now been demolished. I remember slaughter days working at the back... not a pleasant sound or smell!
I don’t remember Billy Barton living in the cottage, though I think it was still residential then (c1978).
