Title: Robinson's Lane - photographs
Post by: Clarrie on Saturday 12 May 12 11:46 BST (UK)

Dear all,

While we are on the subject of Robinson's Lane, does anyone know whether and where I might find photographs of the lane itself, rather than just the chapel?  I had ancestors who lived there from the 1850's to (I think)  the 1890's ish.  Was it demolished then?  Also Vine Street, a few streets down.

Cheers,

Clarrie

You can try wading through this lot ..... there may not be photos of Robinson Lane itself but there's lots of the nearby area.
