That's it Curly, all changed now though, no longer 'paintable', spent many happy hours in the '80's walking along the tow path with sketch book alone or with Society friends in the direction of Dartmouth Street and beyond. Happy days. Eric
In 1945 there is on the left side... the Corporation Yard, Aston Paper Mills, Exchange Tube Works and on to Rocky Lane. On the right hand side Eagle Range and Grate Works and Climax Tube Works. I wonder if anyone remembers these names?
