Hi Sue & Migky,
One map, 2 answers
190 Hyde Road, Gorton is bottom right in green. In 1915 190 Ardwick end was Frank Bennett, tobacconist, so we might be able to see that on M/c library site.

Church Lane in yellow, now cambert lane. 29/41 survive left in red, 163/165 St James View 1888 survive top right in red. I met somebody who lived on Church Lane on Friday. Let me know details of your enquiry and i'll pass it on.

cheers
Tony

Hi Tony, thanks for the map. I take it Church Lane is now part of Gorton Lane?
Hope todays official opening of the Monastery goes well , shame about the weather.

harewoodhouse, you want/need and more pictures of Manchester/Salford for years gone by , please ask and i will look what i can dig up for you.

Hi Migky,
No, Church Street ran between Hyde Rd, running north east to join Gorton Lane just before Wellington St.

Ironically i'm glad its a terrible day. The radio reports were wrong about our re-opening, its actually the key ceremony. i.e contractor handing back keys to celebrate the end of the construction contract. We still have bits of fitting out to do so can't handle large numbers of public for another week/ten days. Have just managed to cope today because of the bad weather. Dread to think what a sunny day would have been like.

cheers
Tony

p.s. do you have old map of Middleton from centre, up Rochdale Rd to the Ship Inn at Slattocks?

[Mr. MIGKY]

Sorry Tony, my map stops at Heaton Park end of Middleton road 
It was church lane i was talking about not church street or did you mean church lane?
We hope to come back and see all the great work thats been done to the Monastery, when it is open again to the public.
