    This a link to a similar photo to that in post #65 but earlier, probably 1950s, (shows a rag and bone man), apparently the original is a glass-plate negative so may even show the factory names. There is a cost involved unfortunately. There are several enlargements available...

    It's such a shame when these get built in front of and then weathered over the years. Inevitable I suppose.

    asquith road/morley road ward end

    Certainly is Lyn, I suppose it's lucky that it's still around after 100+ years, what a cute shop it was in it's day, probably the proud owner and his granddaughter in front.

    Lorry in Cecil Street

    The 1890s map shows a complete line of houses but only 2 left on the 1950s map, I thought perhaps they were lost as a result of WWII bombing but could find no records on the BARRA site so presumably they were condemned in the 1950s.
