When I was around 11 - 12 that building was derelict and of course was fair game to have a look at in our dinner time from Greenfield Street School.. I came away with a lot of the printing blocks... and give them to the art teacher... I wish I'd kept them now. Fowdens funeral directors as been there donkeys years as well. My granddad on my mothers side had a Tailors shop next door to there... He lost a leg in WW1 and was trained to be a Tailor by a Jew from Manchester. The family lived above the shop. When granddad as working.... he would ask for a cigarette to be lit.. my mum or aunty would light his cigarette.. Capstan Full Strength he smoked. That was how my mum started smoking.. at 9-10 years old. I lived on Hamnett street for a while myself later in life when I ran the Royal Albert..Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-24716045425916500052011-01-13T22:35:46.869+00:002011-01-13T22:35:46.869+00:00If you go into the Tameside picture archive and ty...If you go into the Tameside picture archive and type 'Hamnet Street' it comes up with a few images, one of which says that the sign at the top of the building as shown in your header said 'Progress Supply Ltd'. There's also a couple of pictures showing a 'North Cheshire Herald ' office in Hamnet Street, and an advert for a firm of funeral directors.Dave Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-73633253285344690802011-01-13T19:02:54.458+00:002011-01-13T19:02:54.458+00:00When I asked about this sign in May 2009 someone s...When I asked about this sign in <a href="http://hydedailyphoto.blogspot.com/2009/05/t-e-r-1847.html" rel="nofollow">May 2009</a> someone said the building used by the UCP cafe but that would have been later.Gerald (SK14)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18308693910074268386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-70625088554988800592011-01-13T17:05:39.012+00:002011-01-13T17:05:39.012+00:00One more thing Nancey...
