In 1947 the Finchings are probably shopping here:

 

Plymouth Pannier Market in 1947:

Whilst waiting for the Nissen Hut Shopping Malls to open:

During the war they might have shopped at this temporary open air market near the Pannier Market.

Somebody post something cheerful....

Oi, that's how I remember Plymuff so don't be 'orrible. Hasn't changed that much really................. :nono:

I remember a very big Nissan Hut near Home Park that was used as a cafe until the early 60s I think. 

Ashamed to say I've not been back there to Home Park since 1996.

Quackers.

Hey, don't knock it, I spent many hours around there also.  Interesting times!

Amazing what you can rustle up sometimes. A King and Star in the country.

You mean this one.No crew, lamps and too many bogie spokes.

I contacted Hornby for the correct replacement wheels after I bought the Star and guess what ? Yep the same wheel replacements were sent to me ! Aaaarrrgggghhhh!

Still love the Star though :)
