More about this scene

Formerly, a railway line from the station to the slate quarries ran across by the mound (centre). The houses at Marshside, beyond, were originally built for the quarrymen; to the left were the houses for the overseers. On the right, by the main road, which had not long been built at the time of this photograph, was once a cluster of prefabs, temporary housing after the Second World War. They have now been replaced by modern bungalows.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I was born in Marsh Garth in 1959 but moved round the corner to Marshside when I was 2. I left in 1982. It looks so different now. Have lots of great memories, playing in the street and surrounding areas. Always playing on the 'tip' which was at the end of the street. Its a wonder we never caught anything or poisoned ourselves!
