100 years ago. The rooftops of Eden Terrace peep above the bridge and Cavendish Terrace goes off to the left.










Munching away on the grass the sheep seem quite happy on this card of 1913. Eden Terrace is at the northern end of the bridge.









Looking back down Stanwix Bank a tram makes its way up the bank to Etterby and a road roller chugs its way up towards Brampton Road. Circa 1907.






















A similar view with a real old boneshaker making
its way down the bank. Would the ladies walk in the middle of the road today? The building on the left was probably demolished in the 1930s bridge widening scheme.















Moorville, card posted 1904. The house on the right and the smaller buildings behind it stood until Morrisons was built. This view is looking up Kingstown Road from just beyond the lights at Morrisons. The houses on the left still survive.


Stanwix Church, date unknown, but around 1907.









Etterby Scaur, early 1900s. A view almost unchanged today, apart from the horse and cart. The tower of Stanwix church is on the skyline.























Probably taken from the top of what is now Austin Friars school (about 1905) this view looks down the Scaur towards Stanwix. The path in the centre of the card runs beside Etterby Terrace and above the cricket ground, the large houses are Cavendish Terrace.

Etterby Street is much harder to spot and runs just to the right of the church tower on the skyline. The houses in the foreground can still be seen today.
