Hickmans Folly

Postby fosney » Mon Jan 30, 2017 1:09 pm

Picture of Hickmans Folly 1930 which ran between Parkers Row and George Row Dockhead I believe the picture was taken from the George Row end of the Folly in that on the corner the far end was a Post Office and opposite was The Swan and Sugarloaf public house but The Kings Arms pub is not shown on they map in George Row anyone have any knowledge of the area.

The area is now part of The Dickens Estate. Todays picture taken from outside the old Swan and Sugarloaf pub looks towards where Hickmans Folly used to be
