Anyone live in Ramsbottom
« on: Thursday 27 November 08 14:53 GMT (UK) »
Hello
I have some relatives who lived at-
1 Bear Alfred Street Ramsbottom and

24 Annie St Ramsbottom.
Does anyone live near enough to see if they are still there and any chance of photos please if they are.

Many thanks

Hi  sorry took so long to get back to you. I had a look at annie St and Alfred St (not bear alfred??).
No 24 Annie st doesnt exist any more I'm afraid, but the row adjacent to it does, typical stone built terraced houses.
No.1 Alfred st is a detached house on the end of a row of terraced houses.

best
Jed

Hi, When did your relatives live at Alfred St and Annie St,-how long ago?. Some houses were demolished in Annie St and there are quite new ones there. It is a smashing little street with the cleanest flagstones in Ramsbottom, all bleached . They are the original York Stone ones.I used to work at the school on Geoffrey St. I`ll try my best to get a photo but must admit to being a real geek and do not know how to send photos !!!!!!!.I will have to ask my son!One side of Annie St. is still in existence but the other side is where the new (10+years)houses are.I wonder why you thought it was Bear Alfred St..Could it have been back Alfred St? There were some back-to-back houses there,the ones that had no back door because they were joined to the house behind so had only one entrance but when the housing act came into force the dividing wall was opened and a door put in and two tiny houses became one larger one so what had been the front and only door of one became the back second door of the now larger house which now housed only one family where before there had been two. Are you still with me ?Have another look. Viktoria

I`ve sent you a message but it does not seem to have got through. It was to say I had walked along Annie St. today and 24 is still there. 1Alfred St. is the end of a row and it does look as if it could have been enlarged from two back to back houses--the back and front are exactly the same. I will send a photo as soon as I find out how to do that. Cheers . Viktoria.

OOPS llooks like i got mixed up..sorry about that..good job you replied Viktoria ...to post a picture you click on reply then where it says post a picture. There is then an opportunity to browse amongst the pictures on your computer., you click on the pic you want . It has to be less than 500 kb i think.
again sorry for getting mixed up//it was a day or two after i went up to Rammy that I posted.

Hello
I am so sorry I was not notified of your replies thank you so much for all that information I would still be grateful for a photo if at all possible.
My Uncle who was born in 1917 gave 24 Annie St Ramsbottom as his address when he married.
His fathers address was 1 Bear Alfred Street Ramsbottom.
Thank you so much. Doris
