I remember my dad ( Vic Green) taking this picture of me walking through the arch, back in the 1970s. I even remember what I was wearing, very 70s boho chic ! M&S brown linen smock dress and Scholl suede clogs.
nobody else seems to remember the bookies at the top of the cats arch or will they not say. i use william hill at eckington now.so at 71 i have not learned my lesson. mick weston.
I used to walk through here with my Grandad (Sydney Jones) when I was small on the way to see his friend (Jock Adair), we would call to each other to listen to the echo.
Does anyone know when the arch was constructed and when it was demolished?
