Re: Let there be light!
Mm, you are getting too good with your photo quizzes my friend!!!! Haven't a clue, but am trying to think where that stone walling in the background could be. Why does Whalley Road, Oak Lea area, spring to mind?

After reading in last weeks Observer about the problems they've been having on Barnes St with prostitution, could it be the red light they talk about ???

Re: Let there be light!
Explanation for what? Why it hasn't been replaced by something modern? Is it in the vicarage grounds or something and not council property?

Dunno if there was a Royal Visit, just guessing but looking at the photo of the crowds at the main gate, it surely was a big event!
