This is the early Fifty's.

Which is Dyke Lodge is that the large house at the bottom of Pilot St, if so where are the gardens that Gertrude Lawrence designed.
Not totally sure claytonx but in your days of walking along Whalley Road, it could still have been a private house, think it became a childrens home in the mid seventies, I get this feeling that the last tenant was a guy called Stubbs, could have been John Stubbs but I not sure
