Old Fire Plug marker. On the wall of the old water board offices on the Croft?

PanBiker is first there with the 'Fire Point' marker. Now replaced with the ubiquitous yellow 'H' hydrant sign. A clue is that this street still retains the cobble sets.

King Street then one of the oldest bits of Barlick, opposite where Ivory Hall used to be. My Gran lived at number 15 and My Auntie at 17 back in the 50's.

For once I knew where it was before perusing street view. I walk past it most days, living just around the corner.

Now that Pluggy's got it I'll steal a bit of Stanley's thunder by showing this plaque. Actually its the limit of what I know of the building.
