Many thanks to Arthur Daws for sending me the three above photos of Market Street, dated from around 100 years ago.
The top one is the view from the junction at Chapel Road and on the right would’ve been the former chapel. I’m sure I’ve previously published a photo of the old chapel but I can’t seem to find it. That wrought iron gate (or its replacement I guess) is still there – I ran past it at lunchtime today.
The middle photo features the old Punchbowl pub (left). You can see another old photo of the pub here. And here too.
And the bottom photo is the view at the junction with Alderley Road. Those buildings haven’t changed too much over the last 112 years. A few years ago I published a photo of the same row of shops looking from the other direction.
Wonderful photos!
