Jordan Well

Helen yes that one actually confused me when first posted as the image (as we have seen several times before) had been flipped the other way around. If you or Rob (or anyone else for that matter!) want any of these current crop emailing direct message me as I have them sized a lot larger for the detail

Neil, What do you mean flipped around, post 119, then how should it look?

Kaga, I think that Neil has flipped it the right way but the original was wrong. A few of the pictures from Mirrorpix are flipped too. And yes please Neil, it would be very interesting to see what more detail the original has compared to this one. You've got my email Edited by member, 20th Mar 2020 7:25 pm

Super shot of the North side of Jordan Well heading towards Gosford St - the junction with Freeth St would be just out of shot to the right. The photographer has his back just west of the Gaumont. Thanks to the Tony Lay on FB for this colour-tinted shot which gives great detail plus Heathite for helping identify via the shops in the directories! Edited by member, 29th Oct 2020 5:27 pm

I know there was one on Gosford Street but where was the Baptist Chapel on Jordan Well?

South side, in a court, just to the west of Whitefriars Street. It was demolished to build the cinema. Chapel in Jordan Well court 7 Pictures

Yes that's why I asked Helen - never seen those before!

Hi all, My best & treasured memories of Jordan Well is the Alpha restaurant. I've posted much at the beginning of this topic.

Thanks Prof. This was a curiously unloved stretch of the city with almost all the images of it before the war looking east and those are few in number. The 2014 image is near to Much Park Street whereas the 1925 was at Whitefriars Street. The 1940 image splits the distance.

Smashin' shot of development, but still showing the Dun Cow and Lynes still standing.
