Blackburn Road Gap
 
Has anyone else noticed a gap in the terrace on Blackburn Road, opposite Platts club? It used to be covered up but now you can see a ginnel between the properties.

Can't say I noticed today but I shall have a look in the morning as we go past there. Is it before or after Willows Lane?

Next to what used to be the Chip Shop?

Block after Willows Lane, half way down on your left heading towards Blackburn. I can`t remember what was there before now!!

I'll try to remember to look tomorrow. I did actually come past there this afternoon on a bus but I was probably talking to somebody at the time and not looking outside.

While you have the picture out A-B why not see if you can make that guys number plate a bit clearer, because that position must be one of the most popular spots for illegal parking which makes it very difficult to get around on Blackburn Rd!

Thats the place. I`ve only recently noticed it, so it must have been fully boarded up before now. You can see the roofline on the next block is quite a bit higher.. I wonder why?

>> I wonder why?<<

The block that has it's junction with Willows Lane is of earlier construction than the adjoining block? just guessing.

It's not actually one terrace. It's two. They were built from opposite directions and where they don't meet is where the gap or ginnel is.

I actually saw it today with my very own eyes. :D
