If you can get on the Tameside.gov.uk website and click on their Photo Gallery Archives button and find the search engine...type in "Henrietta Street" and somewhere in that group of photos there's a couple of them of Albemarle Street before it was demolished. (There are two older ladies standing just at the intersection of Henrietta and Albemarle St.) It has stanchions at the Henrietta St. end so traffic couldn't drive down it, but the houses look in rather sad shape. and the photo must have been taken just prior to their demolition. They were lovely when I was a little girl. I think the demolition took place in the 1960's and #170 (our house) was somewhere down the Street at the end furthest away from Henrietta Street. <BR/>LOL - this isn't the first time I've had to explain about my poor old long gone home!

Going up Henrietta St. from the Market, Albemarle Terrace is on your right immediately past the railway bridge, and Albemarle St. was on the left...gone now of course sadly.

I wonder if they have records there or where they would be kept now. When my Mum came to Canada I think the four Baptism cards were lost. They were lovely. <BR/>We lived on the Albemarle St. which is now a parking lot and it's only a short distance to the church. I have a very small photo of me in my Whit Week Walk long dress taken in Grandma's front garden on Albemarle Terrace. Must do a Google search to see if I can find any inside photos of the church and anything else I can find. Once again...thanks Martin.
