south inch Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 No too sure where this was but seemingly it was still on the go in the 1950's Methven Street opposite the Kings Cinema??? As you can see just a suggestion. Keep them coming Chips, you are a genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochwinnochsaintee Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 No too sure where this was but seemingly it was still on the go in the 1950's My suggestion would be towards the bottom of the high street as Liptons became Massey-Lipton, there was a Massey supermarket there which became a Templetons in the 70s, don't know what's there now, almost opposite where Campus sports is.

Lochwinnochsaintee Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Prefabs on Tulloch terrace.. Blimey, are these air raid shelters? The TV aerials would suggest early 60s, therefore if they are, amazing they're still there then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye you could be right, the remaining memory cells can recall something. The shape of those first floor windows would be a dead giveaway if they are still there. Can any of you still lucky enough to live in God's city help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babychunder Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) I showed my auld maw the picture and she reckons it's the High St, so you're probably right David. Edited April 23, 2015 by babychunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do kind of look a bit like unburied anderson shelters, but IIRC prefabs werent built until the postwar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet they were also used as gang huts, hiding places etc by the kids round there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint-johns-toun Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 wow I remember templetons, café was upstairs iirc??? where argos is now too I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochwinnochsaintee Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 wow I remember templetons, café was upstairs iirc??? where argos is now too I think The photo also appears in Jeremy Duncan's book, Perth A City Again. It is definitely High Street. That photo also shows a bit of the next door shop on the left, number 110. Would this confirm that Liptons was indeed the predecessor of Masseys, then Templetons and now Argos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Babychunder's Maw said it was the High Street that was the matter settled so far as I was concerned. The shop I was thinking about in Methven St ( opposite the Kings but up a bit) was a grocer also - a Maypole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejksjfc Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 There was a Liptons on South Methven Street as already mentioned I think it probably closed mid 1970's.(I am not disputing that the photo is of the High Street although personally I am not convinced) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
