Top right you can see the recent development of a new Elderly care home,Hatton Grange which is built on the site of the old Police Station on Onward Street.
I'd forgot all about the street Nancy... I remember it being knock down now... recently walked across the park and was pleased as it looked well...
ReplyDeleteI all so thought this was a good idea its a shame the natural and indegenous population have no chance to use it
ReplyDeleterealy enjoying this site just found. I was born in Albion Street in 1952, number 10, my grandads house. My mum and dad and older sister and myself lived there with my grandad (yep, only two up two down!)until we moved quite soon after I was born to Lanegate (off Knott Lane, Gee Cross). Joan Buckley
ReplyDeleteHello Joan
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments, I'm so glad you have enjoyed the site...
I know Lane Gate very well as I grew up on the Cheetham Fold Estate... I have happy memories of that area and the shops, the woods the railways lines and of course the people. Many of the families still live on the estate and I get up there often.

Hello Joan,
ReplyDeleteI'm currently trying to research my family tree, my uncle Frank Marshall was living in Albion Street in 1948 when he got married, is there any chance that any of your family remember him and help to fill me in with details?
