I have no idea why I didn’t think of that myself!

That great Kipax thanks. I’ll drop him a line via his site and see what’s available when I get over at the weekend.
Notwithstanding this excellent link I would be still interested in seeing any old photos people may wish to share.
I’d also love to hear of anyone who may have school or street photographs of the Church Street/Canal street area of church during the 1940s particularly from anyone that knew and may have photos Alan and Maureen Douglas…. It’s a long shot I know.
