smithy86 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hello, i'm new to the site. Just wondering if anyone has any memories or old photos of the Hayes St and Sunbury street area? I know live in Hayes street and my grandad says he used to live at the bottom of sunbury street (which is now demolished and grassed over). Be interesting to see any old photos if you have any thanks' smithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelley32 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 My Mum and Dad live on Hayes St, My Dad has lived there since he was 8yrs old, Il ask to see if there is any photos of the bottom of Sunbury St, I vaguely remember the houses at the bottom being knocked down. The Youth Club as it was when I was a kid is now a kiddies nursery, it has been the council office, part of social services aswell as being empty for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bump Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Does anyone have pictures of the old 'well' that was on the waste land just off the junction of Hayes St and Sunbury St? When I was a kid I remember it being what seemed like a massive basin which was empty but I'm sure was used for water storage or something? It was filled in many years ago but I have never seen pictures of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky D Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 We called it Hankey's well but it was properly called a cistern which supplied water to the Glass works at Ravenhead.If my memery serves me right it was circular and about 45 ft in diameter.
