I think can see St Augustines Church, but can't see Watson Fothergils Baptist Chapel which I know is further down. Is it the white building, if it is, then I know where I am looking, I imagine that is the school yard next door; 'Or is it'? Thanks for the picture, I keep going back to it, I never realised there were so many large buildings, any idea what the large building about a quarter of the way down on the left side is and the road it is on. Carni where the st augustines church is , i think the catholic school of the same name is further up the road on the left , i attend there in the 60,s , not realizing marple street was within walking distance .

Gussies was on Northville Street with the school just behind and the playground (girls one side boys the other) abutted the church. I was there 1953-59. In the distance on the right you can see Sycamore Street School halfway up the hill. Don't know what the bigger blocks are somewhere in the vicinity of Dame Agnes Street?? In the far distance beyond Sycamore Street School is the greenery of the allotments these stretched up from Hungerhill in St Anne's. Siddha i used to walk up Dame agnes street to get to school at St augustines catholic school, from Leicester street in st anns , once it snowed very heavy in the 60s, i remember a milk van skiing down Dame agnes street, and crashing into a shop window at the bottom , a chemist shop i believe.
