Carrying on from a previous post, looking at the Technical School, here are a few past and present shots, along the lines of the old BN & T concept (which might appease badfinger) of comparing how an area looked in the past and how it then looked a few decades later, or in some instances, a century later.

Don't know if I'm getting this right but here goes. Re your lovely photos of Cuckoo Hall which I knew as a child. I wondered what is known about Moss Hall ( Intack area). Was there a hall there and if so when?
ReplyDeleteSorry but I don't know anything about Moss Hall. There probably will have been a hall there, that's often how the names come about.
