Henrietta Street

This week's view of My World is looking up Henrietta Street, on the north side of Ashton.

The street links the town centre with the Smallshaw area of the town. The shop on the right was originally one of Ashton's many Co-op shops. Out of sight to the right is King George's Playing Field - the local park.

"Henrietta Street" is my contribution to this week's "My World" feature. Please check out the other blogs participating in this week's My World.

The Old Ball

A re-visit to the Old Ball pub at the junction of Smallshaw Lane, Henrietta Street and Broadoak Road. The road layout has been altered to improve safety, with this end of Smallshaw Lane now one way. The pub was built in 1835 when this was a junction of country lanes!

Broadoak Shops

This photo shows the green and the row of shops that are opposite the Broadoak Hotel, Smallshaw. The turning to the right is Poplar Grove.
