Recently the plaster all fell off and the brickwork is very rough underneath similar to the photo.

I too thought of a day trip but wonder also if it is something to do with the Whit Walks. Don't recognise the buildings.Werneth Lownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-90269765781408931672011-11-14T17:49:24.158+00:002011-11-14T17:49:24.158+00:00Ian

I...Been looking at the picture can't place it.. I've tried to think where the tram tracks could have been and the stone work buildings... if you look at that wall in the background with the man walking by it gives some idea of the height of the building... interesting that no windows are there... I'd say that was a gable end.. <br />I wonder if the trade directories can be a help.. the two signs on the wall to the right are for Spratts pet supplies. Maybe the building was a pet store... I know my granddad and dad bought pigeon corn, rabbit and chicken pellets from somewhere in Hyde. I have found copies of the signs which I will add to the post.<br />As for your book Paul.. I've Checked mine and I've not got a copy so put one aside for me please.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.com
