great pic from the past
if only we could se them now they have great charm
My great grandfather Thomas Edmund Powell lived here with his wife Mary Alice @1911.
Would anyone know the exact location of the cottages, where they actually on the canal Bank.

The canal ran the other side of the houses. The bridge was just off the picture to the left and pendlebury lane ran left to right across the foreground of the picture.

Find Historic Map ordinance Survey1900 , the area we are looking for, My grandparents lived there when they were little, I think the cottages must’ve been destroyed about early 1900 , Gran was born 1873 , she spoke about living there, the family did move down the lane.
