The Athol Vaults was situated at 374 Vauxhall Road, at the junction with Athol Street.
My Grandad John Thornton (known as Victor) lived at 90 Athol Street and was a Licensed Victualler and his father my great grandad John Thornton was a licensed virtualler at 374 Vauxhall Road, so they were the licensee’s – we never knew because my Grandad died when my Dad was 3-4 years old and he didn’t remember him. Most of his siblings were a lot older and went to war and when they came back they didn’t really come back, he was evacuated and then went to Germany for National Service, so they all became displaced.
