A photo of my mother and her friends outside the chapel and the chapel after the fire, with the sign renown tyre something ltd.


Can we re establish the facts for clarity...

The "walkers" definately come from "The Bethel Chapel" situated in Gatty Park, not the Ernest st or Pitt st " Bethels", and which was burnt down in 1943.

The time will be sometime in the early 30's. My mum looks in her early 20's which would be about 1932..34..ish. In the attached photo my mum and one of her friends outside the chapel, are definately both in the "walking" photo.

The road looks like it might be on a Bus Route and one of the buildings has links with Accy corporation.

If they are heading towards Accrington (as most processions used to do on Blackburn rd), then the buildings are on the LEFT hand side of the rd, not the Right as was suggested earlier that it may be opposite the top of Oxford st.

We need photos showing the Blackburn rd /Henry st area in the 30's

The buildings have a smooth stone facia as oppoesed to the more rough stone facia on most of Blackburn Rd.

The road has cobbles and no tram lines...when was Blackburn rd tarmac'd?

There is a sign in the shop window just above the girls head next to the lamp post. What does it say... B....... about 7 letters.

The shop windows are painted out...maybe offices....with a small sign on the centre the right hand window.

There is a door on the left next to the large window.

Any other info I have missed?
