Great site Joolz I can see the old Wigan Grammar school I used to go to , it was rebuilt in the 1930s . Also there were fields behind the street I lived in !

 

Joolz are you sure they are not WW2 reconnaissance photos?? :WINK1:

 

I cant any images of blackwell,newton or tibshelf,shows me a lot of repton views which ive never heard of
Matlock i did see but im not that clued up on,ive been a few times for day trips and to see the river illumintions lovely place

 

Maybe Theres a group section that looks interesting...if i get a quiet hour i will be looking through them pics aswell

 

Nice one harrys,glad you found a memory ive found some good pics,ive not tried saving them as image to my downloads yet but il try tomo

For many years I've checked out Aerofilms pics at the Local Studies section of my local library, many of which were extremely useful for planning submissions.

Another useful source of old photographs of your house is postcards - I've got one showing a 1901 pic of our house and most of the local residents.
