Alderley Street


This picture is looking along Alderley Street, Hurst, towards Queens Road and the distant Pennine Hills. Cedar Mill once stood on the left, with the "Red School" beyond that.

  2. Spinners,
    This photograph is looking along Alderley Street from t'other end...from near Kings Road.
    It has changed a great deal in recent years, the new houses on the left are where the Cedar Mill was. The playing field that leads up to Cedar Park is still there though you can't see it on the photograph. It has been grassed over now, I remember it was once all black cinders.

  3. I find neighborhoods such as this so friendly and homey. There's a lovely skyline and mountain view.
