Don't think it is Orchard St which you can see on the left, John. If the shops you can see on Greenough St are the ones I think they are i.e. a chippie, a Lewis's ice cream shop and (I think) a branch of Rushton's, then they are the ones that went up Greenough St from just past it's junction with Windsor St. I think Orchard St was opposite Calderbanks scrap yard and ran through to The Little Theatre. A relative of mine lived in Russell St. which was off Orchard St and it was a dead end against Water Heyes works.

It looks to me that the workmen are working on the Council maisonettes that were on Windmill Close, the recently built Flats known as 1 Morris Street now occupy the site

I remember taking a note to a doctors surgery on Greenhough Street for a colleague from the Co-op on Standishgate in the sixties, I wasn't familiar with the area and had walked past it a couple of times before realising that what resembled an office of sorts was the surgery. Was it Dr Coffey? or something similar, I remember it seemed a strange name to me at the time like a name from a horror film.

John is right!!!! Morris Street club is built! You can see it opposite Greenough St and, Lewis snack bar, what a place!!!!! Always found my mother and Auntie Joan there!!!!

Again!!! I think they are building 'dutch houses'. These are still there. In the initial build they ere between masionsttes: all known a s Windmill Close

Just thinking John - I made a mistake in my earlier comment when I mentioned the shops starting just above where Greenough St. met Windsor St. - it should have been where Greenough St met Turner St. St Georges school was in Windsor St - my excuse is it is a long time since I went there!
