Is the building in the photo which has "Dist" on it, The Moon Under Water, now?
Interesting photo which I have never seen before wonder what the shop between the Midland bank and the Raven pub was
Was this the milk race
I think the building is District Bank, which became NatWest and is now Reflex bar on the corner of King St.
The building in question is definitely what is now "Moon Under Water".
Correct, Gideonfel - it is now the Moon Under Water. The Midland Bank can be seen on the opposite corner of Wallgate and Library Street, where it was for years.
Now that I look at it with specs on, it is Library St. I always thought The District Bank was on the corner of King St.
The District Bank was on King Street as you say, Kenee. Its postal address was number 1 King Street.
The sign reading 'Dist...' which can be seen on the corner of Library St in this photo, possibly relates to another business with a similar name.
You are right Pw this was the first time it was called the milk race
