I remember it on this site, but not of course as far back when horses appeared to draw the stalls into place. I still cant manage converting into a pic sorry - if someone fancies doing it please . https://i.pinimg.com/originals/bd/66/e6/bd66e68bb48a9765c97fbdd5ed085b96.jpg

I remember rows of birds hanging up and outside stalls with hissing carbide lamps ,it was also the place where we went down the side to be issued with our gas masks in 39.

Neither did I but as its half the height its nowhere near as impressive. The further you are down the pay scale, the more 'essential' you are when the s--- hits the fan...
