Three images of the Boathouse area and lake in Queens Park. The top one dates to around 1906, the centre one probably a few years later (c1912) and the bottom one, quite recent in comparison, probably dating to the 1970's.
You can see my old school, John Rigby High, in the later photo, just over the tree tops, on the corner of North Road. In fact that might be me in the window on the extreme left, studiously getting on with my Geography.

Truly heart-breaking when compared with the state that area is in today.
