    3. Hi Joan Whilst in Meltham today I took a run along Sunny Bank Road. There are no, what might be described as older buildings in a terrace. The whole area has been redeveloped around the one time mill complex and it is difficult to tell the difference between old stone that might have been cleaned and new build in the style of the older buildings. Many of the original mill, buildings have had the stone cleaned and now contain apartments. It is possible that your No 58 may have been a cottage in one of the mill complexes and is still there but not obvious. For what it is worth, my opinion is that you have the correct Sunny Bank Road but recent modernisation makes it difficult to be certain just which is/was the property of interest.   Regards Roger Family History Research: GILL, BERRY, CHARLESWORTH, ROBINSON and many others in the Holme Valley, south of Huddersfield. >________________________________ > >Subject: [YORKSGEN] Sunny Bank Photo > >Hi list I have a photograph of Sunny Bank Meltham taken 2001, from a >yourksgen lister at that time. >no 58 Sunny Bank was the  dwelling of Percy and Hannah Lunn in the 1930s so >its included in my family history.
