WHILE many of these views will be familiar to most readers - there are some pictures that may surprise.
Who, for instance, remembers the relatively short-lived subway beneath Trinity Street?
It’s creation alongside bridge strengthening works in late 60s necessitated exhumations in part of Trinity Church’s burial ground.
There’s also the forgotten case of the ‘original skylink’ bridge - a cast iron structure spanning roughly the same course as today’s modern concourse to the new bus station.
Elsewhere we see the facade of the former station, originally on the other side of the road and of which only the clock tower was retained.
Do you remember any of these old features of the landscape?
