THE CITY SQUARE & HIGH STREET - 1970

This shot of the City Square from around 1970 shows The Val d'Or restaurant sitting pretty at it's prime location in the middle of town. The Val d'Or is the canopy on the corner of the Square with the window boxes being the upstairs dining area.
This corner premises later became Burton's.
Also in the image, across in the High Street, is another place selling grub, the Restaurant above Keiller, the white/yellow building on the first floor.

THE VAL D'OR ADVERT - 1968

2 items on the Val d'Or restaurant, starting with this advert from 1968.
I can't remember much about the place, only got a hazy memory of being there with my parents in the early 60's.
The Val d'Or translates as The Golden Valley.
