Black Abbey Street and Grange Lane.jpg

Does anybody know where the chimney was in this picture? The picture was taken at the bottom of Black Abbey Street and Grange Lane. The church spire is Oak Street Congregational Church, but where was the chimney. The only chimney I remember was at Park Mill but I don't remember it being that tall.

Nay John con ti nod du better than thad.
To include Broad Oak the picture would have to be twice as wide and then Bank Terrace is in the way.

Look at the picture and the angles, the nearest mill that would appear in the background between the Oak St Congi's and the Swedenborgs in Abbey St, is the Old mill in Birtwistle St facing the end of Beech St, when I were a lad it were know as Co-op joiners.

As for Park Mill, that would have appeared to the left of the Oak St Congi's

When they knocked down the area bounded by Plantation St and Birtwistle St, from Abbey St to Cobham Rd, and built those lego boxes.

*Blows raspberry to Cashman* ..

Still don't think you are correct, think the 'photographer' may have been taking it from Grange Lane, yeh, yeh know that Jeff said that, but the title isn't quite correct then. Doesn't look like a photograph though .. just a sketch ?

There was a Grange Mill showing on maps ... what was that ?

Hi Snakehead arguing again,
Which map are you looking at, going down Grange lane starting from the South side of Nuttall St, (formerly Woodnook Lane) there was Sykes Mill, Perseverance Mill, Iron Works, Lower Grange Mill and Wellington Mill, then you in Church St.
Hargreaves Plumbers Merchants were in Lower Grange Mill.
Sup less, see more and learn a lot, leave thi wheels at whum and use thi feet an thi een, thal bi surprised at what thur is under thi noas when tha nod lukin at car bonnet.

as ya know retlaw, kate would argue the pope aint catholic.:D
 
You two ganging up on me now.. :dummy2:

All I was saying is that the title of the photo/sketch belies it showing Grange Lane.

See map below .. would have to be a view from the purple blob, so Grange Lane would not be captured on the picture.

Was merely asking what Grange Mill was (pink blob), and could the chimney possibly belong to that ???

No wonder I now need a bacardi .. :p
