ABERCROMBY SQUARE

[taffy]

This article on the building of Abercromby Sq came up in a Google search for my ancestor, William Rushton! Is there any way of getting in contact with the author (Adrian R Allen) to find out more about William? All I know is that he would have had a wife called Phebe (if he's the right one!) and about 9 children. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I spent a lot of time as a student there and I did my Masters dissertation on sediments from Abercromby Sq., reconstructing climate change since the last ice age. If anyone is interested, my work is used in an exhibition at the Victoria Gallery and Museum of what occurred at Abercromby Sq through the ages.
Thanks,

Hi Lisa,
Do you or anyone have a photo of St Catherine's church. As my parents were married there in 1925 and i only have a photo of them taken from the church towards the square. I have searched the web but without any luck ...
