A panoramic picture of the flats taken from across the old Racecourse.

A picture of the houses at the back of Shirley Avenue. You can just see Chaucer Court and Keats Courts to the left. I spent many a time playing on the hill as a child. You can also see Monsal Avenue running away from Shirley Avenue. In the far background you can just see Littleton Road playing fields. Roll you mouse over the picture for a view of this area in February 2008.

A view across the centre of Kersal Way in 1962. The flats in view (from left to right) were Chaucer Court, John Bacon Court, and Browning House. Roll your mouse over the image to see the same view 47 years later in 2009.

A great picture of the caretakers hut that was located at the bottom of Chaucer Court. Those stood around the Vauxhall estate include Les Whiteley, Ged Whiteley, and Dennis Whiteley. Roll your mouse over the image for the same area in August 2011.

A very clear and crisp picture of the front of the shops taken in 1964. You can even see the meat hanging in the butchers shops. I remember those bins so well. You will note that the phone boxes have not yet been built! Roll your mouse over the image for the same spot 45 years later in 2009.
