Looks to me as though its in Bridgeman Terrace having just come out of Kenyon Rd. The bloke(Malc Holland probably) on the right is just walking past were the tax office is now. Must say though Ron what a cracking set of photos.
Anyone know what make of car that might be ?
The number plate is EK 645? , I can't make out what the last number is.
Just checked on the original photo. and the Reg of the car is EK 6450.
The chap on the right is walking past where the tax office is now.
Helen, difficult to say definitely the make of the car from the rear, but it looks as if it may be a Manchester built (or assembled) Model A Ford.
That's Park road I'm sure with the grammar school in the background.
Maureen it's definitely near the Tax Office Rylands Mill entrance is to the left just higher up than the Park gates
Maureen ... The route of the Beech Hill bus has always been up Bridgeman Terrace past the tax office, left into Walkden Ave, then right onto Gidlow lane and Beech Hill estate.
You could be right DerekB... The Ford model A which replaced its famous predecessor the model T was manufactured between 1928 and 1931. Over here it was made in Trafford Park.
Definitely Bridgeman Terrace, Mill Cottage just behind the bus.
Yes I agree..you are all correct..slapped hands here.
How marvellous is that bygone picture. It looks so well to do in that area.
