I have my meal tomorrow at a smith and westerns in Chichester that I suspect was a goods shed at one time I'm not sure,

I know that feeling ! Just got back from being a taxi... again  ::)  But at least the food was great and i managed to sneak out and grab a quick pic... Seems sad to think that once the likes of a 9F, Spam cam, 7F all stood here  :'(

Damn shame :( Looks like S & D now stands for 'sit and dine' ::)

Actually more like 'Shop and Dine' as most of Bath Green Park s made up of Sainsbury's and they're car park.

Shame BUT this is what the place looked like on 3/05/75 when I was on route to the last day of the Bridport branch. Yes I did go by train no way to sample all that Palmers ale otherwise.
Some days its just not worth gnawing through the straps.

Smashing photo's Jerry..... :thumbsup:
Does anybody recognise any of the motors in Jerry's photos..?
I think that's a white Mk1 Escort parked outside the building in the first one....might be wrong.....
I would have been 7 at the time.....

My guesses are Top There is a blue Mk 1 Vauxhall viva and a MK2 (?) cortina white
bottom picture Austin Devon ? and an A35 Van. I was 18 and lucky to be working for BR so a group of us including my girlfriend decided to celebrate the demise of the branch but while waiting to change trains at Bath Spa opted to pay homage to the S&D. Unfortunately the poor quality of cheap 70's film has made the pictures somewhat faded. I have one of the front view somewhere.

Thanks Jerry... :thumbsup:
I think the fading adds to the character of the pictures. :thumbsup:
