Clayton in snow

If there is snow over Christmas, could someone please take a photo or two of barnes square and maybe the top end Whalley road or Atlas street near royal mill to take those of us overseas back to our childhood, I wish all Accyweb members a very MERRY CHRISTMAS. ps I was born in the front bedroom of 57 Atlas St.

Re: Clayton in snow

That would be great Al, snow would certainly make Clayton look better.

Re: Clayton in snow

I know it isn't exactly what you are asking for, but the other year when we had more snow than we knew what to do with, I went out and about taking pics.
I got some of Mercer Park, some of All Saints church......and the old Lampost near the church.
When I get back from my daily doings I will post a link to my Flickr pics and you can see if they satisfy your desire for Clayton in the snow.
According to the internet forecast for our part of the world we aren't due any snow...just heavy rain, high winds and perhaps some hail.

Well, as far as I can remember, Atlas St. is the Top End ... so, not much of an insult really.

Re: Clayton in snow

Thanks Margaret, see Clayton can look pretty. The Gilmartin family used to have a party Christmas day for all the family, about 50 attended, at the Vic club, that was in the 1950s. sadly I don't think there are any left living in Clayton. Trust you Cashman.
