Talking Re Broomhill Colliery polis.

I have recollection of a George Caruthers as 'The Colliery Polis'. I can't add any more to that. It is just a name I was 'Threatened with' when my mother told me not to get up to any mischief. As if?

Can I guess that it is the shop which, on current Google Earth of Queen Street, may be Chisholm - Bookmaker. Is it No. 66? That is the only shop on right going west to east, with an arch, intact.

Pettigrew Arms

That is correct for your siting but the Pettica garage was not built until the 1940's. Perhaps, I am not sure, but if the Pettica Bros became owners of The Grey Arms that would be the only connection.
