We are looking towards Crosby. This photograph shows how built up the area had become. The Methodist Church is just visible on the left, whilst the Holy Soul Roman Catholic church can be clearly seen on the right.

This picture is of St Peter-ad-Vincula (St Peter in chains) at Bottesford, Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire. One of only a few in the country with this dedication another being in The Tower of London. 13th century Early English style and at the time of this picture would have been recently restored having had the roof raised to its original pitch.
l have a postcard of this view which is dated Oct 11th 1904. ln which the sender write's about just moving into a house that is facing one of the houses on the left which had just been recently built and so does not appear on this photo. On the right of the photo you can see the tower that was part of the post office building which was opened in December 1902. So maybe the photo was taken in 1903 rather then 1902.
I was really shocked but pleased to find this photo - it is of my mum and nana in 1955 on Scunthorpe's High Street - we lived in Allanby Street. I was 10 years old when this picture was taken - it has brought back fond warm memories thank you - Linda.
