[Fortypence]

sorry don't know that.....but there was another motorcycle shop behind the photographer.....well, they sold motorcycles in a gated off laneway....half of the fire escapeway for the skating rink.....

Thanks for that quinner.

Do any of you know who's motorcycle shop is next door to the pub?
I'm just curious.

The photo in post number 5250.

From memory that shop was called " Lindsays "and I believe they were agents

foe Suziki Motorcycles.A friend of mine had a Suzuki and I'm certain he brought

his machine back there for service.As I've said before I could be mistaken.

That alleyway Quinner - Is that on any maps? why get rid of it?

you can see it on this map......

the flats were built right across the end of the alley.....the bit that was left, was between the automac factory and the flats playground....

note where whitefriar street meets golden lane now......and where it used to meet it....

Harry Lindsay is indeed well known and well like amongst bikers/racers world wide.
A lovely link in jeangenies post too. I remember harry talking about selling off his collection as his advancing years had left almost unable to care for his amazing collection of bikes.

That photo was taken in a Summerhill backyard about 1965. The kid on the extreme right is Albert Moran who lived next door to us in the 60s. As far as I know Albert still lives in the area.

I served me alcoholic apprenticeship in Terry Kelly's.... I lived next door just out of picture. Well done Noel for finding that one. Albert still plays the guitar only now he gets paid for it.
