Hi everyone, I have recently discovered that my ancestors owned various shops in Longton in the late 19th century to the mid 20th century. Does anyone know of anywhere I could get old photographs or information, not particularly of the shops, but of the streets they were on? The streets include Stafford Street (The Strand), High Street (Uttoxeter Road) and Caroline Street. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help Colleen
Hi Colleen and Listers Try the Warrilow Collection of Photographs deposited at the Special Collections Dept within Keele University. The Collection is quite well indexed so they should be able to tell you if there are any relevant photos. regards Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Crookes" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 7:09 PM Subject: [Pots] Longton photographs > Hi everyone, > > I have recently discovered that my ancestors owned various shops in Longton in the late 19th century to the mid 20th century. > > Does anyone know of anywhere I could get old photographs or information, not particularly of the shops, but of the streets they were on?

dont know how local you are, but Hanley museum has loads of old photos of the area on a touch screen system. If your miles away this wont be much use! sorry Lisa ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew Crookes <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 7:09 PM Subject: [Pots] Longton photographs > Hi everyone, > > I have recently discovered that my ancestors owned various shops in Longton in the late 19th century to the mid 20th century. > > Does anyone know of anywhere I could get old photographs or information, not particularly of the shops, but of the streets they were on?
