Dizzy Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 spooky Arty.... I uploaded some pics earlier onto photobucket and was just about to pop a couple on the forum. One of mine is the exact same place as your top one. I've taken the title off now and I wont 'guess' as obviously I know where it is. Heres mine.   Anyway back to your question........  Are numbers  1..... not saying cos I only know due to my picture  3..... Bank Park (think that is what it's called ie I mean next to the Town Hall where the zoo used to be)  4.... or is that called Bank Park ? Looks like the Parr Hall in the background.  5....

Stallard12 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 The first one has to be the Packet House and Tower Restaurant at Bridge Foot. THe second Queens Gardens (?) with the High School and the Parr Hall. Which end of the alley Dizzy? I remember that little cho-a-bloc full shop on the corner as the alley entered the Market. How come the old market always smelled of soap powder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Damn knew all of them apart from No2 but was beaten to posting the answers. Must have been unusual to see a photographer in those days. Notice all the people in No1 facing the camera? Could No2 be Buttermarket Street? Stallard I remember that curious little shop at the entrance to the market. It fascinated me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Horsemarket Street, the railway bridge by Central Station can be seen in the distance, Lyme Street is on the left foreground with the doorway of the 'Blue Bell Inn' behind the young lady crossing the street. Heres the original that it was taken from!. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Arty, hope you don't take offense, but couldn't resist posting this as it took me ages to identify where this was taken. Where was it taken and how did the street or road or lane get it's name?, and yes it is in Warrington. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 No Idea at all Algy but as a wild guess simply based on what it says on the long sign on the building is it Guardian Street ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 No Idea at all Algy but as a wild guess simply based on what it says on the long sign on the building is it Guardian Street ? Not Guardian Street Dizz, the sign says "Eagle Printing Works". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 What a wake up call, algy. Now I realise why so much of the town was knocked down and rebuilt. That street looks like a slum area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 That looks like Scotland Road algy, but before my time, I hasten to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
