Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 The biggest part of the old Meadows which still survives is the area around Turney / Pyatt Street. This is early 1950s and a lot is still there. The long building in the centre-left is the bus garage, with Bunbury St going diagonally across the photo. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Don't forget there is still the other chunk, the other side of Wilford Crescent; Glapton, Woolmer, Beauvale, Holgate and Mundella Roads, Wilford Grove. I can see my old house in both maps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OrphanAnnie 296 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Is the library still on Wilford Crescent (or was it Wilford Grove)? Used to spend lunchtimes in there when it was raining. When it was fine we would wander round the Mem Gardens off the embankment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I believe so. You'd think I'd be certain, I was on Green St only two days ago. Looks like this now... http://www.ourgreenstreet.co.uk/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 27 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 All the school have been demolished. Happy memories. Kind regards, Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
