Single biggest site of its day

THIS week we feature a selection of previously unseen photographs that were taken during the construction of Mount Road, Roundthorn Road and Boardman Fold Road in Alkrington.

All of the collection of 19 photographs have been donated to the town by David Searle from Cheshire.

He recently sent the photographs to Middleton Library and was delighted when they gave Bygone Days permission to publish a selection of them. The full set can be viewed at the Local Studies Library.

   hi harold thanks for the article it brought back many memories as a young apprentice gas fitter working for the north western gas board we had a cabin at the top of kirkway and worked on most of the houses and shops from about 1961 until 1963,it was so cold in the winter that your hands froze to the copper tube good job we had a wood stove in the cabin to warm up and of course have a brew regards aussie jack
