That building you refer to is the Red Lion, on the corner with Black Abbey St. Also on the photo I can see what was Hothersalls Chemist, Fosters Newsagents, and Palmer Rileys Electrics.

Retlaw.

Does anyone know of a miss H.S.Brown who would have been in her teenage years in 1897 and would have been a "bad" girl?



This following letter is very much tongue-in-cheek but quite topical

[Busman747]

Better get back on the subject of photo's, how about the Oak Tree in Abbey St? (No idea what the donkey was trying to do!)

[Busman747]

A montage of shots, I didn't want to split them up as this is the way John has presented them in his albums..........

The first is Bull Bridge in 1901 where the site is being cleared for the new drill hall

The second is the Coppice at a much later date but clear of most trees and the ones that are there are deciduous........

Can someone help me out on the third one please?

Busman, the third shot's at the bottom of the Coppice, looking towards the back of the bowling green pavillion that you can see on the right of the second shot.

[Busman747]

Thank you Wynonie

why is Bull Bridge called Bull Bridge?

[Atarah]

I imagine because of The Black Bull pub, which was in this area. It was where the back entrance to our car park is, directly facing Hyndburn Road.

The second of those three pictures is the coppice as I remember it when I was a lad before all the trees were planted,to my mind think it looked better then than it does now
