Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[Cassius Kray]

Dunno, but the hotel is there.

Oh yeah, so it is. Must be more recent than I'd realised.

The New Era Square development is also there opposite St Mary’s church, so although the photo looks ancient I suspect it’s probably only a year or two old.

Front LtoR Believe Lipsham, because never see a photo of him with a 'tach', Morren.

I knew all the players by sight, baring those two, just emphasising how good my grandfather's tutorials were, because he saw these players as a lad. born 1890.

Now we know the game, V Liverpool, and what must have been an entertaining one at 4-4, more pictorial record. It also shows British industry at full production.

Emotive memories of childhood, trips to town with my mother 1940's. Always retuned to Pond St via Change Alley.
1950's, occasionally calling in Marsden's for a coffee on way home from school with the group of lads and lasses, who all caught the same bus home from Pond St.
Good memories and days of yesteryear.

I dont remember Change Alley at all, must have been pulled down in mid 1960s?

Yes, not sure exactly when, possibly more 1959/60

As you say Silent it must have been demolished mid sixties. It was an interesting little street with a bit of a kink in the middle that made you want to go down and see what was round the corner. We used to order coal from down there (Burnett and Hallamshire?) and there was a Thornton’s Chocolate Kabin on the corner with Norfolk Street. The Marsden’s cafe VM190 refers to was on the side of the street being demolished in the photo.(I think)
