Great pictures the one of Lancaster Circus is great. My great grandfather bought his first Baker's shop in Lancaster Street in 1853.
 
thanks everyone....it does time time but worth every min just to get a few images back on the forum..
 
Lyn, I appreciate your hard work too. And how great is it to either look over these photos again or even discover them for the first time? Seems to me that it's injected a new energy into threads. Viv.
 
A Couple of oldies of College Road

The first picture looks like it's been taken in the vicinity of the College Arms pub, in the distance on the right would have been the site of the Mayfair cinema. My Dad (b1925) remembers it being built. there was also a smallpox hospital in the grounds next to the site of the Mayfair.

The second picture looks like the Council Salvage yard on the left. We called this cut the Witton Canal as kids.
