I just wondered if the street at the top left hand(running diagonally) corner was Hudson St........the patch of Green looks like it is next to what used to be the school(Woodnook)...but if anyone knows any different, I am happy to be corrected.

Thanks Atarah, I used to live on Clement St a lifetime ago, that must be it running on the bottom with all the cars on it. What a mess.

It's weird walking through the area shown on the photograph . You get beyond Royds Street and you come to the Christ Church area , another world - Bishop St , Rough Lee Rd , Mountain Lane , Hollins Lane etc .

so sad used to live on Hudson back in the early 80's such a shame to see the area end up like this..... started with the factory bottoms... then higher antley street... now its moved up.... maybe hollins lane and royds avenue will follow:

why allow it to get in that state in the first place ?

I't hard to believe that less than 30yrs ago most of the houses in this area were decent.. fair enough some homes would have needed to be upgraded in that period but it looks like the whole area has been turned into something a third world country would be ashamed of.

Is one of them Augusta street? Looks like it because someone i know lived on Augusta and he has now moved due to compulsery purchase.

I agree, there's some great buildings around that area, I particularly like the houses on Eaton Bank.

I think that from bottom to top there is South St, Booth St, Royds St, Augusta St with Hudson St running up the left and Clement St running up the right side.

Tell the truth I was away from there mid 70's but my family lived on Hudson Street up to late 70's and it was fine..no aggro..no fires.. I mean for gods sake it looks more like Church in 1973! :D

Nice big houses on Hudson street.what a waste.i lived up there as a youngster.That whole area was just like most other terrace areas until late 80's,then i started going down hill.I heard a few yaers ago that it was falling apart but have not even driven past there for a fair while,so its shocking to see it in that photo.Its appalling and its very sad for me to see something from my childhood as being totally destroyed :eek:
