I definitely remember the new one next to Abbotts coaches on Albert Rd. and Batesons on Abingdon St.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254813796701528975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3964138136447200711.post-1950625545509359232020-01-31T21:24:58.981+00:002020-01-31T21:24:58.981+00:00Hi Ryan, I've not seen any of the interior if...Hi Ryan, I've not seen any of the interior if that's what you mean but there have been some of the exterior in FaceBook groups such as History of Blackpool if you are on FaceBook.

I was very young when I used to go in there with my Mother. I remember on one occasion my Mother buying me a couple of 8" Planet of the Apes Figures from there. The funny thing is I remember Diggles being up an alley off Temple street and looking like a detached house on it's own. Can anyone confirm this ? I do know Diggle relocated later to the bottom of Albert Rd. to a more modern bigger premises. Next to a coach booking place connected to the Hounds hill I think. Any info would be great.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254813796701528975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3964138136447200711.post-17709434270676171522015-02-22T20:14:22.582+00:002015-02-22T20:14:22.582+00:00I worked at the Temple Grill after I left Palatine...I worked at the Temple Grill after I left Palatine school in 1967 till 1970. brilliant place to work, lovely people ,very fond memories. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3964138136447200711.post-56727481158339466982015-02-21T07:26:35.454+00:002015-02-21T07:26:35.454+00:00I used to work there as a commi chef,from leaving ...I used to work there as a commi chef,from leaving Palatine school in1967 till 1970. brill place to work .
