Ivegate Clock 1871 looking East.
According to Geoff Crambie this is almost certainly the last ever photograph taken of this giant landmark.

Re: Bonny Colne
This stone is still in existence at the top of Midgley St. Colne. Now set in the ground as a reminder of the Cloth Hall built 1775. Not many people will have noticed this stone although its clearly visible for those who care to look for it.

Re: Bonny Colne
I love old advertisement pages Mick. It's a well known rule in historical research that the only things that can be relied on as totally accurate in newspapers are the Hatched, Matched and Dispatched columns and the advertisements.

Re: Bonny Colne
Look how many adverts there were for entertainment, I can see seven different venues or activities even in that small selection of copy. No TV, internet, YouTube, on demand etc.

Re: Bonny Colne
Even during the war, Stockport was the same. Two live theatres, the cinemas and events run by churches and other organisations. And the pubs were full every night......

Re: Bonny Colne
Hiding in plain sight the plaque over the Skipton Building Society entrance. (Albert Rd) What is interesting is that this plaque is actually the emblem of the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank. Note! it carries the same 'handshake' feature as the old Co-op carvings.

Re: Bonny Colne
See THIS Wikipedia article on the bank. It was still in existence when I was going to school, the white building on a corner site where Heaton Moor Road met Wellington Road North was the District Bank and I passed it every morning on my way to school.

Church Street Colne Charter Day, September 1895.
A procession 2 miles long took 90 minutes to pass. 6000 children were given Charter Day medals.

Re: Bonny Colne
They were hot on those crowd control barriers weren't they!
I wonder how they managed to get the posts in what should have been a hard stone surface. Or was it soft in the gutters and they just drove the posts in?

Morning Mick. When I see pics of kids in that era I always wonder if they survived the Great War.....

He's trying to thread the leather lace through the hole in his whip, to play whip and top.

I'm sure I've done exactly the same, there is something so familiar about it.

Re: Bonny Colne
What always struck me as a lad was how the play of the moment used to change spontaneously. One day it was whip and top, next thing was we all had skipping ropes and then a shift to marbles...... Never a dull moment.

That's such an unusual picture! I wonder if it was a female photographer?

It is isn't it Wendy. It would be nice to have some context.
