Description: | August 1967.
View of the junction between Queen Street, left, and Troy Road, right, in August 1967, a junction which over the years has come to be known as 'coffin corner'. It is thought that this name grew up because those carrying coffins from Morley Bottoms to the churchyard of the Old Chapel on Troy Hill needed a rest as they rounded the corner at this spot. There was a convenient place to put down the coffin and take a much needed breather. The corner building between Queen Street and Troy Road was, for a long time, a dental practice for Frudd's Lycett's and then Levi's before it was closed for this when the practice moved to new premises at the top of Queensway.
