  • HI folks the server that hosts the site completely died including the Hdd's and backups.
    Luckily i create an offsite backup once a week! this has now been restored so we have lost a few days posts.
    im still fixing things at the moment so bear with me and im still working on all images 90% are fine the others im working on now
    we are now using a backup solution

Old street pics..

Definately Shaftmoor Lane Dek and Lyn. The buildings are still there right by the junction of Oulton Blvd. They have hardly changed at all.

Just noticed that there is a cafe there called Boulevard Cafe which I didn't notice before but it confirms what I said above.

I think there was discussion of the Stockfield road stores picture previously but I can't find it. Neither W W Webb, not Stockfield stores is listed in the 1921 or 1932 directories
