Thanks Mitcher for remembering The London Mantle Warehouse, was recking my brain all day.  Was there a Pub on the corner of Castle Street and King Street ??

Facing the Hercules Bar was the Speedy cleaners, and next door down was Scholls.

The Executive Hairdressers....made a pleasant change from Rab Maguires Sawyer's window with exotic fish on display....and a record shop where I bought..Now Thats What I call Music 1 (think its at 77 now)

Record shop was David Harrisons.  A true gentleman when you got to know him.

The shop at Marquis Street was a Fish Mongers who did the cooked chickens on the Spit (Great Stuff at the time).

Hunter's Shop, Ken's Chippie (First time I ever tasted a sort of curry - anyone remember???), Lipton's supermarket, the memories are fantastic - i can smell the place!!!

What about the Driving School that was next door to Victor's???

O'Boyle had a Holy Shop and Jewellers shop in Chapel Lane as well as the First Communion Shop at Castle Street. 

The shop on the corner just below O'Boyle's was a gents clothes shop - got wrecked one 8th of August and the manikins etc ended up on the Bonfire on the old car park at Hamill Street Corner - everyone else ended up kitted out with new gear lol - think that was about 1975 or there abouts.

McNulty's was the shop at Castle Street and King Street corner - just remembered it.

There was a bank on Down beside the Bank Buildings on Castle Street also - can't remember the name....

Before it was called the Astor it was the College Ballroom, my uncle went to dances there back in the 30's and was the street not called College Lane

Nearly sure it was Castle Street Mews - the McMahon Family owned it and lived up at the corner of Townsend Street and Divis Street - they still live around that area - Barrack Street/Durham St - although I don't think they own any bars etc nowadays

I  am 100% sure you are right, never heard it called Marquis Street.  Do you remember Frank Carson's brother Pat when he was the Manager of the Astor, boy was he handsome, the complete opposit of Frank

I'd be too young but I heard my da say that the oul mother McMahon would have cracked you with a stick if you were out of line
