Our Lady and St. Josephs. The church opened in June 1893, this card was posted in 1906 although I think the image is earlier. A Catholic chapel was on West Walls in 1798 and the church of St. Mary and St. Joseph was opened in Chapel St. on Xmas day 1824.




Some 10 years on (1917) and the trees and bushes have sprouted up. Any old car experts out there? Drop a comment if you know the make.


Looking up Warwick Road from about the corner of Spencer Street.

St. Georges United Reformed Church is on the right (opened 1863). The advert on the right dates the scene as the Festival of Empire was held at the Crystal Palace in 1911

Warwick Road eastwards from Lismore Place about 1911, the tram tracks are visible in the road. Warwick Road was laid out as a turnpike road to Brampton in 1829-30. the town end was originally called Henry Street and the piece opposite the catholic church was Cavendish Place. In 1883 the council voted to name the whole road Warwick Road.


The junction of Greystone Road and Warwick Road circa 1909. Are these two waiting for the tram? The house on the end right places the scene as even today it has the distinctive spired roof.
