Yeardsley Lane

A view of Yeardsley Lane

This image is from a postcard which we have digitally colourised. The date is unknown although the houses on the extreme left were built in 1914. In this phot they look quite mature. The gas lamps were replaced in 1960 so we have a wide range of possible dates. The man on the right is standing at the door of the Institute, now the Community Centre and Social Club.

On Yeardsley Lane

A row of three cottages was built on Yeardsley Lane in 1822. For the first eighteen years, the fledgling Methodist Chapel and Sunday School was located here. In this picture which has been digitally colourised, some motorists are visiting. The woman is believed to be Miss Webb who at one time, owned all three properties. A man stands at her side, hardly seen in the shadows of the doorway.
The car was registered in Manchester at a date between 1904 and 1913 and may be a Humber.
