Scot Lane Aspull
Photo: JohnAlan

Probably taken in the late 1800s or ealy 1900s. An atmosheric picture showing the cobbled stone roads of Scot Lane and Stanley Road and gas lamps. The Moorgate Inn which is still there is shown on the corner. To the left is now Moorside with bungalows and shops built in the mid 1960s. The terraced houses at the bottom of Stanley Rd and to the left of scot Lane are long gone. Are those railway lines running along the grassed area and across the road? If so what where they for?
