Great photo. I think this is now John Street looking south, the east side is the same as the photo but the west side is now the flats of Ashton Rise.

Great picture, it almost looks like something from a Dickens novel, bet the kids loved the snow.

I wish I had a time machine. What a lovely photo.

My Mum remembers this "bitterly cold February" well. Now 84 years old, she was then heavily pregnant with my older sister. She recalls being asked by my Dad's Granny (Mitchell) who lived at 26 Sussex Terrace, to go across the road to Charlie Paine's wooden hut to find out what had happened to the coal he promised to deliver. Charlie, who had a bad or even false leg, assured my Mum he had not forgotten. Due to the severe weather, he had been inundated with requests for coal deliveries. No central heating in Sussex Terrace houses in those days!

Thank you all for your lovely comments on the photo, glad you all liked it.  You can just see number 26 on the left in the photo, the first red brick house. My mum told us that her mother, my grandmother, was born in that house. My Grandmother's name was Edith Haines before she married my Granddad, Joseph Reeves.
