The backs of the houses you can see are on Warrington Rd, Lower Ince and the building in the background is Britannia Bridge school, which is still there.
Preston St along with James St and all the houses on the main road were demolished in around mid 80s I think.
Anyone know exact date?
I had an Auntie and Uncle and Cousins in that area in the 1060s. They lived in Frederick St,. then, when that was demolished, Cheltenham Ave. Their name was Parkinson.
My mams family came from Lower Ince and Spring View, they were Parkinsons
My Auntie and Uncle were Alice and George Parkinson. Alice was my Dad's youngest sister. She was Griffiths before marriage.
my sister in law lived on preston st ,Freda and fred davies, they had 4 children, anne,margaret ,and twins peter and Stanley.
The three cars are: Vauxhall Viva, Hillman Imp and Hillman Minx.
Josie. My wife remembers the Davies family.
She said they lived across the road from them, next to the big entry.

Eileen/Irene.Found your Kenny's photo.Go on Schools Britannia Bridge photo of Spring View 1961 on there Your Kenny on Middle row.
Irene,put some photos on Spring View School your Kenny is on them.
The young man in the photograph is my brother Howard Parkinson - he would have been 9/10 and I am pretty sure that he is photographed against my Grandparents car outside their house. I was about 4 years old when this picture was taken and I am sure my grand parents lived in Preston Street until maybe 1979/1982 ish moving out when the street was demolished. What memories.
The house in the background on the corner of Warrington Rd / Preston st was ours. Mum & Dad were Chris and Elizabeth Robers. Brother Chris as well.
