Notice only one set of tram lines. tram cars used to travel out of Bolton along the high level and up St. Georgss Rd. On the inward journey they went along St, Georges Rd To Knowsley St where they turned right
The photographer would be stood just in Back Blackhorse Street, opposite St Edmunds Street, across Deansgate.
Moor Lane, which can’t be seen in this photo, is the continuation of Marsden Road (‘High Level’)and is to the left.
The building on the left edge of this photo is Deansgate Goods (Railway) Station.
It takes me back to see belisha beacons without the black and white stripes for a pedestrian crossing.
This is the junction of Deangate, Moor Lane, Spa Road and Marsden Road. The pub on the left is the Gypsy’s Tent at the end of Spa Road.
