Now I don’t have a date for this church procession or exactly where in Chorlton on Medlock it took place.*
It was taken by Harry Wright who had a photographic studio at 27 Eston Street which was off High Street which ran from Plymouth Grove to Oxford Street.
It is still there but High Street is now Hathersage Road and the photographic studio long gone.
Sadly no one seems to have judged Eston Street worthy of a picture and the only two in the digital archive show just the corner.
But I am hoping that someone will recognise the street scene and perhaps even offer a date.
And perhaps that shop and the advert beside the Brook Bond sign will help.
We shall see.

I'm one of the girls walking in the first group. I think it was Jackson Street Sunday School. The shop could possibly be the one that was situated on the corner of St Luke's Street, across the road from the Shakespeare Public House. The year was approximately 1953.
