At the end of Cundy Street there was a railway branch line which wagons use to pick up Robertson Jam at a small building. The railway line also use to run to what was Honeys scrapyard.<br />hope this helps, MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-30515781652562106192013-08-13T15:33:47.467+01:002013-08-13T15:33:47.467+01:00now this is something to get the old brainbox goin...now this is something to get the old brainbox going.just brilliant.more please as they say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-30483109449397380062013-08-13T13:04:32.377+01:002013-08-13T13:04:32.377+01:00What lovely memories.

And at the end of the war street parties were held at the end of Acresfield road where it makes a diamond shape. From that end of the street there was a footpath through the fields to Dukinfield. In summer the fields were full of corn with poppies and cornflowers growing amongst it. Really lovely. Newton was quite rural and there were several farms. Cows used to walk up Talbot Road. Can you imagine that happening now?Marjorienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-87141759912592942032013-08-13T01:13:59.331+01:002013-08-13T01:13:59.331+01:00Barry in Oz.
