Both wrong 57 is now gone and another building there. 

[+snorbens_caleyman]

Intersection of Telford Street and Lochalsh Road.  Must have been the same architect as Tomnahurich Street

[IBM]

No not that one the houses on the left are still there 

[+snorbens_caleyman]

Oh no!  Who knew that Inverness had so many identical buildings? 

Anyway, I am off out now for my permitted exercise, and may be some time.  Not sure how many people I am allowed to talk to when I'm out, but I will stay alert.

Maybe Mantis can have a go at this one when he gets up.

That's it I think the barber was Geordie Horn but I might be wrong. He was better than the grumpy barber that I first went to in Grant Street after moving into Inverness 

[+weeman]

I used to go Geordie Horn when he was in Church Street, somewhere around about Bow Court

Where is this?

Wow, its definitely close to the same look. I guess a few streets do look very similar (when you give allowance for redevelopment and renovations that took place over the years )....

Was he in Celt St late 60's to 70's or that might not have been him he was small and bald?

He was in Church Street in 1970 when I stopped getting my hair cut. He was also there for a good few years before that. I can't really remember what he looked like. He had another younger barber worked with him who had ginger hair. You always got a penny dainty after getting a haircut.

I think I have the wrong name someone might remember who the barber was on Celt Street.

Here is an easier one.

Pretty certain that is Friar's street and the white brick on the right is the corner of that wee house where the guy made Targes and displayed them in the window ?

That's right but I can't remember what the white building on the corner was.

Could it have been a printers?

Must be well tucked away from the road Culduthel, Drummond or Stratherick!

[The Mantis]

Aye, Culduthel. Just opposite Southside Rd you’ll see the gate. Sandy Macdonald from Lewis and his wife Laurna from Shetland. Had Shetland Originals shop where Shapla is now. Uncle and Auntie of Mrs Mantis but both long gone.
I take it the cars are a bit dark for you

Ah that was a sneaky one  that house will be number 18 which will have a great view of the town.  I have been in the one next door number 20 which was split into 4 flats and now has a house in the grounds.  John Aird who was a solicitor with Anderson Shaw and Gilbert had one of the upstairs ones.

The cars are the first Mercedes A Class and that might be your Citeron Xantia.

[IBM]

I am sure some may remember this old house in town.

IHE and weeman would have passed this on the way to school.
