Hill Street

Thanks yet again Anne I keep forgetting about the Library images Rob captured - I took this one from 'Britain from Above' as well -

Do buses really go down Hill St today? I'm amazed Neil but thanks for the photos.

Hi Prof, Sadly, no longer. The intervention of the ring-road put an end to that.

Thanks, Philip. I did think that Holyhead Road would be in the same category. Only upper reaches of both streets.

Here's one in colour

St Osburg and presbytery pre-blitz Christine Hill

This great image from a 1914 newspaper has just surfaced on FB. I had not seen quite that angle before from that period and did not realise how narrow it was.

Nice one! The newspapers have some treasures I haven't dug up yet.
