Henry, It is now a B and B. I have stayed there several times and very reasonable too.The landlady/owner told me that it was called the banjo, because from the air, it had the same shape as a banjo.henry wrote:I wonder why they called it the banjo when it was really the Pembroke Hotel maybe someone or people played their banjos and that is the nickname people then called it

Hi Starkey he had 2 shops on strand road
no 49 was on the corner of irlam road on the on the right
under the railway bridge
also no 121 strand road between bank road and washington street
on the right side just this side of the bridge
the marching photo looks like a recruitment parade as most of the men are in civvies

Strand Road, there's a memory, trying to remember some of the shops, can only think of Hills, Cohan's, the Maypole, shop on the corner with clothes hanging outside, Costa's Chippie with cat in the window forget the rest of names..too long ago now!!
