It is a scene which will be captured in many memories.
I don’t actually know where this was, but it comes in a collection which was taken in the late 1960s around Ancoats and across behind Plymouth Grove.
In time I will go looking for the exact location, using the streets with name plates as clues.
But I suspect it will have gone.
Leaving just the memory of those prams, one of which years later we bought second hand for our Joshua.

Nothing will beat a good old fashioned British pram. They are the Rolls Royce of all strollers, carriages, buggies and so on.
ReplyDeleteYes a Dead End Street in more ways than one. This appears to be a court and I'm wondering why they seemed to build so many in the 19th century. Engels described these courts as often being the most squalid of streets. Why did the town planners think they were a good idea?
