Forgotten/Closed off Streets

[Gnomie]

little April Fools humour gnomie?

Brilliant info so far everyone

Have you seen how many of the roads are listed in the A-Z street map?
Like me with the Genealogy study i bet its a shock when people go looking for their ancestors roads and find them blocked off. mind you its still nice to know thats where they where.

Upper Beau St Everton was once quite a long street. Now only a short length still exists. Photos taken a few years ago. the area may have slightly changed since then.

A bit of Beau Street still exists according to my AA Street by Street guide.
The Haymarket Music Hall used to be there.
It later became a cinema but closed about 1915.
I tried to find the spot but found it was covered by Wallworks car showroom.

Kew Street, mentioned earlier, went from Scotland Road to Great Homer Street where it was the site of the Homer cinema.

Nice pic

Its wierd to think that once that was a busy road with people living their lives. but its nice to see it still marked even if the houses are gone.

Ruby St, Dingle has been truncated to a short length of road alongside the pub. There is a new Ruby Street around the corner. The original Ruby St along with parallel Emerald st and Nestor St have been demolished and the land converted into parkland and a children's play area.

There are several streets off Breck rd which have had houses demolished and the streets cut short:
Fowler st.
Hunt st.
Bulwer st.
Windermere st.

I remember all those streets lindy when they were long play streets. Twas my old stomping ground fine job you did on them.

[lindylou]

Yeah, it doesn't seem all that long ago that they were busy streets with families living in them.

This was a short street coming off Cockburn St, Dingle. All that's left are the curb edging stones which now lead to a pathway into Dingle Park. In the background is Homer Street, also truncated but still existing with a street name, albeit unadopted.

Most of the area off Park Way has been rebuilt since the 70s.
