Hi Jambutty, just found this lovely old view, similar time to the one you posted earlier, but showing from a different angle.

We used to go up there as kids and everybody knew that part as The Eagle.

It was very hard to climb that bit because the ground just gave way beneath your feet. I remember a teacher from Peel Park telling me the reason no grass grew there was because us kids never gave it a chance!

Oh that brings back memories too. My Mother always used to go into town late on a Saturday to see what was on offer before they shut up shop. It was usually cherry and walnut slices and my dad hated walnuts!!
