Re: Puzzle Picture 3
 

It does initially look like it could be Piccadilly where Woolworths was built .. but the chimneys don't seem to match ..but know you will take great pleasure in telling me I am wrong .... :D

Yes, is in the Jubilee book .. but not this part of it. Also bits in Bob Dobson's books ... :D:D Have had 'photos on here too I think. :p

Proceed.

Re: Puzzle Picture 3
 

Where do you mean "Piccadilly" Kate? Is that not Broadway, were Woolies is(was)?

Re: Puzzle Picture 3
 

No, Joaner .. Woolies was originally between Dutton Street and Church Street on Blackburn Road. This was known as Piccadilly in years gone by. Yer' too young ... LOL.

Re: Puzzle Picture 3
 

It's where McDonalds used to be Joaner3.

Re: Puzzle Picture 3
 

This is just "by the by" and please do correct me if I am wrong Katex, but I honestly thought the block of buildings from Dutton Street to St James Street was known as Piccadilly, NOT the block from Dutton Street to Church Street. I could be wrong though????

Here is a lovely photo of the old Woolworths store, on the corner of Dutton Street and Blackburn Road.

Re: Puzzle Picture 3
 

Joaner, going back to the days when that part of Blackburn Rd was called Piccadilly, there was NO Broadway, and it did'nt join up with Whalley Rd.
What bit there was, was called Marquis St.
Where Wollies was on Broadway, was unused land surrounded by an old wooden fence and the river stink was open, not culverted like today.

Retlaw.

Re-checked old maps Atarah .. yes, you are, of course, correct. Me, trying to be too clever. Did actually know what replaced that block though.
