carol cooper Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I thought it was Norfolk Park. My husband thinks it's near the Alms houses, so near to the Cholera gardens as Hugh said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your husband is correct, the photographer is in the Cholera Monument grounds looking towards Norfolk Road, and the Shrewsbury Hospital (Almshouses).

SteveHB Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 Can we have a then and now shot? I don't think you would see a deal Thylacine, those trees have grown since the photo was taken, both in the grounds and in front of the Almshouses. https://www.google.co.uk/maps?ll=53.376919,-1.457437&spn=0.001718,0.003648&t=m&z=18&layer=c&cbll=53.37698,-1.457555&panoid=Q7crmUx3vwOqboMqGToeZw&cbp=12,203.69,,0,1.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tozzin Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 The smaller of the two Chimneys is Park Baths and you can see why Sky Edge was given that name too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 The smaller of the two Chimneys is Park Baths and you can see why Sky Edge was given that name too. I would say the larger (taller) of the two was the baths tozzin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tozzin Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 To be truthful I was unsure so I plumped for the smaller one knowing that if I was wrong someone would put me right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the other chimney (no longer standing) was part of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boginspro Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Wonder what the other chimney (no longer standing) was part of? I believe there was a brick works up their, just something at the back of my mind, bit cloudy now so could be wrong. I am sure one of you history experts will come up with this answer.

EDIT - Looking again at the post by SteveHB I thing I am getting the chimneys the wrong way round so if the right hand one is the baths the other is much further down the hill.
