A tantalising glimpse through the locked gate on Whitehall Road .Much altered - but the main building is still there - If only I could get inside - perhaps there still evidence of the old stalls etc?Sadly impossible - security at the bonded warehouse is extremely tight(can't imagine why??)Only hope I think is an "inside job" - anyone know someone who knows someone who works here????Wait a minute - what's that on the wall?Surely it cant be...?

Poor old Bully - here he is in 1920 (just!!), and he was no spring chicken then.

Brilliant pictures drapesy. I knew there was a cattle market down there somewhere but for some reason i always thought it was on the other side of geldard road.I always did wonder what the walls and blocked up doors on Whitehall road were, if only i'd seen "bully" i might have found out!

drapsey - Bonded warehouse? Bonded as in, Customs? er, I have friends and believe me, you wouldn't like what happens if you tried to get in there alone!!
