I think it's looking down the precinct towards the town hall square from Gt Moor St end.

 

Great picture, a beret & a bit surprised there aren't more skinheads.

Yep! they are not far past the town hall square on Newport St. Never went anywhere else to buy shoes in those days. Shoe shops, clothes shops, butchers, bakers, furniture  and TV shops. Not a bookie, pound or charity shop in sight.

.....and Rumberlows

Great photo. The 'new' scarf too with the twin red lines.

 

Not on that photo. Wouldn't have paraded up the street like that. As Zulu will attest, we were more 'under the radar' types - military tactic ambushes etc.

On Facebook FD said the lad at the front was called Little Bernard FD said he was scared of nowt, high praise coming from FD.
