Fisher's Yard was more or less where the car park for Speedy Hire tool hire is now - between the junctions of Wallgate with Queen St and Caroline St.

What a shame people don't sit outside the front door these days and have a chat to the neighbours. Great photo.

Seems he loved his cat too.

Aye folks would enjoy sitting on their doorstep and passing the time of day, sometimes with a wireless blasting out from the parlour, folks are happen too busy watching daytime TV these days to sit on their steps.
