can,t help with the pictures melanie, but i do understand what you are going through with the computer. speaking of computers this weather has kept me away from mine for the last couple of days.
ReplyDeletei am looking forward to someone naming the pics.
The 2nd one is Blackpool north station (Taxi rank Entrance) between the 2 waiting rooms,on Dickson Rd,Main entrance was on the left on the corner of Talbot Rd opposite the Bus Staion
ReplyDeleteE-mailed you. Notice the other 2 were taken on the same stretch,(Note the Railings), I seem to remember in the dim and distant past ,Fleetwood had a cottage hospital. Could be outside fleetwood central station dont remember the railings though?
Just had a though All metal railings ect were taken away in 1939 to be melted down for the was effort.Another piece of useless info,the railings around St Chads were removed for the same reason,and the verger used to continue to lock both gates at 10 pm every night, railings or no railings.
ReplyDeleteRe;horse photos, 3Rd and final offering.Talbot Rd Blackpool Were Apollo is now,the one with the bridge is a bit further down (Seen the engine water tower in the background),
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info .. think I might have my email back under control again but I have lost some in the process. Will have a proper read tomorrow re the pics.
ReplyDeleteWhere's Brian tonight ?
No idea where any of 'em are. I thought for a moment that the bridge in the background of the first one might be the bridge next to the quayside in Fleetwood, then I realised how long it actually was. Definitely not Fleetwood...I don't think it is anyway. Fleetwood isn't big enough for any structures of that size. Somewhere where they used to have horse and cart parades is my best guess.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for the replies. Am definately sure that they are not Thornton now so have sent them to Phil at 'rossall beach' in case he hasn't got them.
ReplyDeleteHi, Re horses; Blackpool North goods yard had its own stables and horses up to the late fifty's along with the Schamel Mechanicle Horses,(3 wheelers that could turn on a sixpence)Even new cars wetre delivered to the Goods yard by rail.I worked for a main dealer in Blackpool and regularly collected cars from there.
