If you are still looking for Park St., you may find Alan Godfrey maps helpful. I have one I bought from them for Moss Side in the late 19th century. Just google Alan Godfrey Maps - you will soon find them.

Park St, ran between Renshaw and Higher Cambridge St. If you were coming from the city center it would be the street before Booth St which, along with Cambridge St you will still find on a modern map.
Boundary Lane runs across Park St, in between Renshaw & Cambridge St.
There are lots of pics of Greenheys on the Manchester Images site. However you need to be creative with your search terms.

Ooops!
Unless it is the Park St that ran from Denmark Rd upto Burlington St, Greenheys?
I don't know how I forgot about this one as I would have used it on my way to both school (Burlington St) and church (Oxford Rd)
IF it is this one then there are images on that site I think you need to type in Greenheys and go through them all...I will see if I saved the link

My mother was born in Park Street, the one that ran off Denmark Road.
I have been searching for quite some time now for pictures, without much success.
I do remember when I was a child visiting my Grandma with my mother, it was about 1959-65 era, there was a lot of houses across the road that they never rebuilt when they got bombed during the war.
My Grandma lived at 109 Park Street, it was a huge three story building with massive three roomed cellar, I was so scared to go down into it to get the coal and wood for the fire, but my uncle would help me, some fond memories of that place.
