Excellent shot there!
Townsend Lane is quite old, I think it is the old way of getting from Ann Field and Mare Green to Stoneycroft and Tue Brook Via Lisburn Lane one thinks???
Townsend Lane/Avenue and Larkhill should feature in a upcoming Flickr Update if your interested.

The original towns end lane of course was Byrom st, when it really was the towns end at the top of Dale st. It then became Dog kennel lane after the structures that housed the Corporation's pack of hounds.
I'll be interested too. :PDT11Quote:

Been working on the update today, theres 24 images in total.
I hope you all wont be disappointed.
I live on Larkhill Lane, so it will be great to see the flickr update!
Right peeps; update is now up and running for your viewing pleasure.
Now I haven't been on the forum asking for info so some of the captions might be a little to vague for your likening. If this is the case, please add info!
Sadly I slightly over estimated how many images there are so I hope 15 isn't a disappointment.
Enjoy all!
EDIT:
Larkhill Lane does feature as does Maiden Lane and the gardens in Larkhill itself.
Thanks Wallasey.
My grandmother was born off Maiden lane. She used to tell us that it was 'in the country' :)
It was quite rural before the council estates were built.
The church is St Mathews and opposite is what used to be Barclays
bank, former Martins bank, now Peter Coynes
A couple more, Townsend Lane and the start of Larkhill Lane
Thanks for this; much appreciated!Quote:

lockhart. Scroll down to manage attachments, click on it and upload the images from your computer using this sites own facility.
Otherwise you can use an external source for uploading from your computer such as imageshack.
Welcome lockheart. If you wanna know how to put any pictures on ask me. I have tried thousands of ways till I got the right one.
Don't need to try thousands - that sounds like time consuming hard work. Just use the sites own for thumbnails or Imageshack for full screens.
