The place where they built the new Pop Club is about a third of the way along Welly Bob St, from Church St End, the 1909 map shows some spare land about there., facing the end of Napier St. |

I lived up in that region for the first 19 years of my life, so I thought I knew it pretty well....can't say that I remember any other dwelling place that was sideways on. |

Interestingly there also seems to be two or three allotments sited where the Pop’ club now stands as mentioned by Retlaw in his post. As a bonus to you aerating my grey matter Lindashanks2 I now also remember the little cottages below the road level at the end of Nuttall Street just before it changed to Sykes St continuing up onto Manchester Road by the Hargreaves Arms, now Grants of course. The bedroom windows were level with the pavement and the fronts doors were accessed by going down a flight of stone steps? Thanks for that. |

Re: Wellington Street
I dont remember a Back Atlas Street or back Wellington Street. I moved to Woodnook in 1952 when I was 3. The image I have in my mind is definitely the bottom of Napier Street. Glad your brain cells are working DtheP47!

Re: Wellington Street
Was there a butchers shop there also? Or was that on the corner of Napier and Grange St? I know I had to get my grandma a sheep head there every Friday for her tea. I had to clean for her and chop wood while the stinking thing cooked and then put it on a plate for her, I tried to get out before she ate the eyeballs??? She lived to 93? I can see that little cottage now Linda, the cottage was to the right facing towards Cotton St with a garden in front of it and wrought iron railing on a low wall. Or am I dreaming?

The premises is still there, but has had several occupants since 1966, the rest of Welly St, from Nuttall St to the top of Church St didn't have any shops, the frontage's didn't lend themselves to such enterprises, they were very much like those from the Pop Club to Church St, before they were demolished. |
