I can remember the pub on elephant street don't recall landlord or landlady tho.I was born in Midland Street at the bottom right hand side that side of the St was demolished to make way for the flats called Ledger Court in fact Higher Pitt St Wesley St Chapel St Elephant St and Law St were all demolished to make way for the flats.Wonder if anyone remembers my uncle Jack ? he and my Aunt Emma had an hardware shop it was situated on Plantation St in between Colliers back and the bottom of Law St.My lovely Aunt Emma was killed crossing the road at the bottom of Plantation St she was going to Thorntons Chemist which was situated across the road next to Fosters paper shop.My uncle was called Jack Briggs he was my mums older brother he never got over Emma's death and sadly passed away soon after her they had no children it was a sad time for my mum and her siblings.Also does anyone remember the row of little cottages at the bottom of Birtwistle St I for one was very sad that they were demolished to make way for the flats an old lady by the name of Bertha Street lived in one of the cottages and she never got over losing her little cottage it was so sad wonder if anyone remembers her.
