Tony 27 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Ashley, Never heard of such a church. St Faiths on Collygate Road still there ( not in its original form ) as is St saviours-still used as a church. I cant recall any other churches in the old Meadows. Kind regards Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,466 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Picture the Past have just added a number of photos of The Meadows during the demolition and clearance in the mid 70s. Nostalgic for me because I did my driving lessons around the area when it looked like this; all roads and no buildings. http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;PTPN001805&prevUrl= http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;PTPN001811&prevUrl= http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;PTPN001813&prevUrl= http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;PTPN001814&prevUrl= http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;PTPN001820&prevUrl= http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;PTPN001822&prevUrl= http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;PTPN001823&prevUrl= Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,090 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Had to look to see if I was in any of those pictures. In 1973/4, I was working for a plant hire firm on Lowater Street on Carlton Hill, and we were involved in demolishing Kirkewhite Street. Made a nice bit of beer money from the copper and lead we recovered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
... 1,411 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 At the begining of this topic we are asked to identify the building well for the record half way up on the left hand side of the picture of wilford grove looking up to kirkhwhite st#14 and half way down wilford grove from kirkwhite st looking down wilford grove onthe right hand side#16 just past remaining houses was an entry that went through to bruce grove i lived at the side of that entry and can confirm that the front of the building on #1 was on bruce grove with the rear of the building backing into the cut through to wilford grove a west indian family called the bakers lived to the side i remember noel baker my front door was 28 wilford grove my back door faced the back of page #1 building .Although i lived so close to this building for quite a few years it took me ages to recognise it because it now stood alone and did not look the same. I hope in the future this info might help reconstuct that place most of us loved i never really took much notice of the building and did not know what it was Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do very well I had the off license on the corner of Mayfield Grove and Ryeland Crescent for 10 years until it was demolished, there was an incident where a lady fell through a glass door in one of the houses, also regular West Indian parties were held in a house on there much to the annoyance of the neighbors. We were friends of Phyllis & Fred Chilton who ran the Crescent Inn. all so nearby was a nursery school on Ryeland Crescent. a Greengrocers, Hackworths butchers also nearby, I could go on forever. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
