  • THE FINAL 15 RESTORED PHOTOS OF SALFORD AND ECCLES - PART 8


    History With Flynn



    And so we come the final batch of photographs that were so kindly given to us by Phil Rawnsley, which we cleaned up and restored, sadly there were many. many more in the box which were either too badly damaged or family holiday photos.

    Today's final selection is another mixed bunch and we need your help in identifying the various locations, we have a feeling that the floral gardens shots may not be local but we could be wrong.

    Where is the man posing outside his car is it Salford or Eccles?

    The Cricket Match is at Monton Cricket Club, looking from the Quaker Bridge down the disused railway line - late 60s, early 70s?

    The Golf Course is Worsley Golf Club, looking down towards Monton Unitarian Church on Monton Green - never did understand why Worsley Golf Club's clubhouse was in Monton ....

    I agree with Mr Britton that the pictures are of Monton sports club and that it's a great photo. Agecroft power station can be seen in the distance too. The picture of the golf course is of Worsley taken from Chatsworth road. You can see the twin chimneys of Barton power station in the distance along with the chimney of Monton Mill. Thanks for going to all the trouble of saving and displaying the old pictures....
