The car in the photo has raised side-lights.
Also called the Rover 2500 (I think).

Rover P6

I worked there in the 1960s, and "The Ribble Bar" sounds about right.

There are a couple of suggestions for the name of the bar in that thread, but they don't ring a bell with me.
Interesting to see my photos again. :)

It'll be interesting to find out how the sites are described on post WW2 maps.[QUOTE]


I've seen the 1949 OS map and they are marked as "Burial Grounds (Dis)", which...

These will probably be at Sandhills, but you have to book 24 hours in advance.

Thank you for your reply.

All I saw yesterday was the binmen!

However, a fortnight ago, somebody smelling of drink asked to look at my photos.
I just knew he wanted to grab my camera.

Thanks very much for this.
It seems to be the conclusive answer.
I've now seen the 1890 OS map, and the smaller burial ground (facing Mill Lane) did not exist, so the earliest that was added was in...

Hopefully we won't lose the whole thread, as most people have gone to some trouble to make it interesting.

Sorry - double post.

As far as the Ordnance Survey maps are concerned the earliest I've seen after the war are from the late 1940s.
They're in the LRO, and are detailed enough to show air-raid shelters.
Ask for the...

Showing damage from the latest fire:

As I earlier said, 3,000+ is not a huge number as 27,000+ were buried in St John's in just 20 years.

Hi, Lelly.
Not unusual for photos to have a postcard back.
It was just one of the options in those days.

I remember when we had enlargements made about 50 years, we usually asked for "postcard...

As Marky says here, there was St Paul's Methodist Church in Greenfield Road.
St Paul's in Derby Lane has nothing to do with this thread.

June 1986.

When students were living there.

Great photos, Joe.

I don't know how I missed this thread.

Here's the Clarence Dock chimneys, minutes before they were blown up (down?) in 1994.
...

I've got a shoe-box full of 1980s photos, and it's not in that (neither are the students, George).
Will carry on looking.

Here's one from 2007, when it all looked promising.
...

There's some great photos in this thread. :handclap:
From all different periods.
I snapped it in the 1980s (I think) when it was occupied by students, but I can't find them at the moment.

Hi, Linda.
I'll scan Breck Road and email it to you.
In the meatime, the only grocers (or similar) after the Royal are Tesco, near Agate Street.
Thomas Scott (Bakers) on the next block, and...

Thanks, Marky.
I must have seen the old list.
You're always better than me at finding information. :PDT11

The only Victor Value I was aware of was the one in West Derby - and only because it used to be a cinema (then Tesco).
I took a photo of it in 1984, and it was Victor Value then.

I hadn't heard...

It's the one at Limekiln Lane that's Listed, although they both seem in the same condition to me.

Perhaps English Heritage sent the same blind person who turned down the Bedford Cinema. :PDT10

You're welcome, Martin. :PDT11
