You are in [Places] [High Street Properties] [High Street (South) Photo Gallery]


Most photographs of the High Street buildings are included with the website page on each individual property.

However, a number of old photographs give more general views of the street, and a number are included on two Photo Gallery pages.

This page covers the northern end of the High Street, from the railway bridge to Atherton Hill. There are about 60 photographs on this page.

A second Photo Gallery covers the High Street (North) from the railway bridge to the canal bridge.
