I suspect that Kate will just say - 'pass'
She is not the sort of lady who relishes scrambling through undergrowth:)

Haha Margaret ... was just going to say summat similar (stilettoes are prohibitive) ... or poking over other people's backyards.

Think there are a few clues here ... will be back.

Was thinking (yes, I do occasionally Retlaw), perhaps you could do this as a sort of regular spot, but one puzzle with 2/3 weeks in between. It is obvious that we are loving this .. but gets exhausting one at the back of the other .. :D

I don't think she will give up that easy, she does'nt need to scramble thro undergrowth, I did'nt, just took the picture thro a window.

Kate has a busy life (by comparison to me anyway)
It must feel like being on a treasure hunt game every day of the week:D

No its where you used to live. :D:D:D

Most of my pictures are from the Easterly side of the Town hall, and South of Avenue Parade.
So its up a bit left a bit, from just round back of beyond going sideways.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Margret could always goggle it.
Goggle earth won't work on my computer.

Back of Abbey St's a bit of wild guess it runs from Peel St to the Police station, so where was I.

It looks like an old photo taken in what is now the beer at the Regency.

Peeping threw a window.:D

Maybe in a building on BBurn Road, or where disc & tape used to be?

By Abbey street I meant the area between the Black Horse (I think that the pubs name) and the Tanning salon (Next to where disc & Tape used to be).

Re: Next Picture for Katex

I think it maybe the view out of a back window on Bank St or the top part of Warner St - both look out over the same signs of dilapidation.

Re: Next Picture for Katex

I have looked on old MARIO maps but it is not named.
It looks as though it was a dwelling area accessible through those gates on Bank St

Sorry I missed this reply Margaret.
Your right it can be accessed from Bank St.
It was known as Thompson Court.
The building in the background is what remains of
an old bakehouse that was near the top of little Blackburn Rd, on the right hand side as you approach the traffic lights. You must have seen it many times, when you worked on Melbourne St.
