Dizzy Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Is the top one in Lymm somewhere ? I'd say without a doubt the other two were taken at the same place but on the bottom one the photographer used his zoom button Other than that no idea.... as a guess guess "Dolmans Lane" ?

algy Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 First one, not Lymm, not Stockton Heath, second and third are the same, but one zoomed as you say Dizz and Cleo is spot on 'Cheapside', Golden Square with the 'Old Court House through the entry, I presume the window with bars on it would have been a holding cell prior to him?her appearing in front of the Judge or Magistrate. I wonder what, if any anesthetic the chap had to have his leg removed?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Why was it called 'Cheapside' Algy? Was that its official name or just what it became known as (if that makes sense). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Latchford Methodist on Thelwall Lane - you are right arty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Spot on! arty, The Wesleyan Methodist Chapel at the junction opposite the Railway hotel (Latchford), but do you know the name of the cottage to the left, I knew it, never titled the photo and have now forgotten it and it's driving me mad!. Dizz, Cheapside was a part of Golden Square and in the mid 18th century this was the commercial center of Warrington, with the north side containing large houses owned by important people such as William Patten, and on the south east side, the lesser market being the 'Cheapside' at that time 'Cheap meaning 'Market' where the populace of the town could purchase their bargains.

Cleopatra Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 There's a junk shop come antique shop there now isn't there, or has that gone now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 The white house became a car park. The shop next to it is Currall's pie shop. The big mansion and smaller house are now a petrol station and was a sunbed shop but now insurance I think, Were they actually knocked down and the garage built or were they demolished sometime earlier?
