below shows a beautiful building from in the
distant past a pottery firm was established but silly me was that impressed that i forgot its name, but whats a name between friends!!!
above show a house in pretty good repai but if you look closely and have been to specsavers will notice the boarded up window and if not careful , the situation could get worse problems being the council claims cost alotof money to protect our buildings
I have travelled up and down WHETSTONE lane SO many times i have lost count but I did fail maths dismally but hidden away is some beautiful houses which i would never had known they had existed if it wasn't for the walk today sadly alot of buildings are not protected and left to go to rack and ruin or demolished and turned into flats I sometimes think one day will have to go to a museum to see what an actual house looked like!! but i suppose i am prone to exaggeration (NOT)
WE then progressed to clifton park and looked at the lovely houses their a mixture of modern houses and ones that have survived the past ONE HOUSE used to be used to sell pottery and some of the houses are quite unique luckily some have got preservation orders on them, a very friendly man came out of his home and encouraged us
to take photos which was really nice but i could tell he was proud of his surrounding but when i saw him i was about to do the 100 metres up the hill
Hi Louise,
ReplyDeleteI am loving your bank holiday blog posts! I have also heard another story about the Monkey Steps in Tranmere. Someone told me that it was called that because the dock workers used to walk up them after having a few pints after work, and their drunken attempts to get to the top of the steps made them look like monkeys!
