EPW019173 ENGLAND (1927). The London and North Western Railway Goods Warehouse and environs, Stockport, 1927

Providence Street Like so many streets in this area there is no trace on the ground. A major new road cutting between Wellington Road North and Manchester Road was an excuse to flatten much of this area and build new terraced houses.

This corner building has had a multitude of uses over the years, chemist (pharmacist), building developer, hair transplant clinic, and at the end of 2016, a Persian bakers.

Passenger train, coaches still in LNWR livery 4 years after the "grouping", possibly 42ft. non corridor bogie vehicles. The loco is a little difficult to make out, but could be an 18 inch goods, (also known as a "Cauliflower") as altered with a "Belpaire" firebox by the LMS around 1925.

Public House. At some time it has been extended by one bay to the left The pub was a Hardy's Crown Ales pub, later taken over by Bass. It then suffered a decline but was taken over at the end of 2012 and refurbished. It is still the Hope Inn and now has its own brewery in the cellar, making Fool Hardy Ales, real ale in casks and bottles. 2014 image by Stephen Shaw is licenced under Creative Commons Attribution licence.
