This photograph shows Grange Road, Barnton, I know because I lived there for 20 years. The car in the picture is either parked outside, or is being driven away from the front of our house. The car a Vauxhall Velox, belonged to my dad. Grange Road houses on the left, the terraced houses are Central Avenue
The photo described as Barnton Hollows, isn't in Barnton. The Hollows shown link the village of Anderton and Marbury. The are called Marbury hollows. The hollows are about 1.5 miles from Barnton R. Pilkington
Sorry Paul, your memory of the photo of the tunnel is incorrect. Boat road was or still is the local name for Tunnel Road. The reason there are no houses on the photograph of the the tunnel ( Barnton Tunnel) is. The photograph is of the opposite end of the tunnel. In other words, the Saltersford end. This end you may remember is approached from Oakwood Lane, or by the horse path over the tunnel from Boat Road. Or when walking up from Saltersford locks. Ron Pilkington
This the place that as a lad I played in the wood's and fished in the canal for stickelback's.
