No problem, I "think" the terraced row in that photo is Milton St, am I correct?

Re: Accy Old Photo's - John Kelly's Album
Nah, Milnshaw lane is on the other side of Viaduct, if you look at the "the centre of viaduct picture" look under the 3rd arch (from left) and Milnshaw lane is just showing, bending off to the right, goes up past where Aldi is now.
On the Eastgate photo it is written on the photo "Castle street" and thats the Castle pub at the left of the junction PS - I'm on about the terrace in the middle of the pic, the lower one is on the roundabout - was that called Milnshaw lane then??? |

Bells Field was in what became Belfield Rd, just a bit higher up than where St Mary's school used to be on the right. Retlaw. |

Last occupied by Brougton's before they moved to the old mill at the top of Church St. The barrage balloon was on the sight of what is now the Arndale Center, the balloon was struck by lightning twice during the war, it never caught any jerry planes. Retlaw. |

.........and the anti-aircraft gun from 1940 according to the hand-written date on the side, I have no idea whereabouts in Accy it was situated.http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hotos/1940.jpg[/quote] That young lad on the right looks very much like me. Must have been late 1940's, don't remember it ever being fired, think they moved it some where else. Use to watch the jerry planes come over, and see the search lights and ack ack fire from Salford way, was always getting pasted for hanging out of the bedroom window watching, when I should have been hard and fast asleep.
