Photo-a-Day  (Friday, 13th January, 2023)

Is that another ' art installation' in the fore ground ??

Ozy big tree fell down on Almond brook road.

As I have said, I love to see old photos of Scholes but didn't know it well. However, I can remember Greenough Street from when my schoolfriend and I used walk with her Dad from Ince to watch the rugby at Central Park on Saturday afternoons in the mid-1960s. The shops and houses are just a vague memory, as, (thankfully!), are some rather smelly men's toilets that I recall passing! But I remember it enough to know that it looks very different now.

Helen it is part of the stone monstrosity which spells Scholes the back of was PAD yesterday

Thanks PeterP.....
Seems The Hole is a waste of money & space when you hear about the plight many people are in.

Mick, and Ozy - the tree must have fallen across Almond Brook Road overnight - it's practically all been cleared away now. Apart from massive lumps of the trunk I don't think there's anything being left on site - small stuff has been loaded onto a trailer and a small truck.

Scholeshenge, with some tribal music.

It’s like a foreign land now to me. The only building is the Balcarres
that’s left standing. It’s now just a thoroughfare to the town. Whereas it was a very busy Main Street with lots of shops and pubs full of character. Mind you the town centre is going the same way….

Thanks for the info and the update … and this may sound like sour grapes , but there’s no way I’m shifting from in front of the fire on a day like today anyway … I’d need to be really desperate , and fortunately , desperate I am not .
But thanks anyway , and
let me know if one comes down in July Michael .

Thanks for the info Rev.
I would have seen that tree from the playground when I was at St Maries school
