I got word from Hilda Ellsworth, a Bancroft weaver, that she had some old pics for me. Here they are:
Bank street taken from Wellhouse Road end in about 1920?
A naive watercolour (about 4" x 3") of Dye House Farm. Signed on the back 'S Banks'. About 1930?
Dye House Farm, August 31st 1930. Yes, someone had put the date on the back. I wonder who the young lady was?
Dye House again September 1929. (dated on back)
Dye House, about the same time I think, 1930?
Another of Dye House at about the same time. I like the lady in the flat cap! Wasn't someone asking about Dye House not long since?

Belting picture of Bank Street Stanley, wonder what the occasion was? I can see the top of Craven Street where I used to live and the "Top Shop" further along at the top of Stuart Street. Joiners shop opposite on the right and the front gardens of Wellhouse Square behind the raised path. Looks like some kind of parade, Fire Tender is a good one, lot of folk turned out whatever it was.

Marvellous pics. I especially like the horse-drawn fire engine in the first photo, Bank Street. I've a feeling there's one lurking in the Broadhead Collection (not scanned yet). Would be interesting to see whether it was taken on the same occasion.
If folk will allow me a bit of sentimentality, I'd like to think that my dad is somewhere in that photo. He would have been 6 years old in 1920 and he lived on Turner Street, which is not too far from Wellhouse Road. You may have noticed that I look for him in every old photo posted on this website - one day I'll spot him! I also love the 'naive' painting - someone was obviously very proud of that. |

I feel abit like you Cally. My dad lived on Hill Street and would have been 5 at the time and no doubt him and his brother Maurice would have been there. Allan and Fred Harry would not be born then. Nolic

Cally you are allowed to be sentimental. I think we all do it...check the old pics for a familiar face. I certainly do!
