The junction of Chester Road & Sutton Rd.
The "old Photo" (top) is of Chester Rd with Boldmere Rd to the left and Gravelly Lne to the right with the railway bridge just visible in the distance. All the buildings in the photo are still there, regards, John.

Yes Jacko I believe you are right, as I said earlier I'm not in my element this side of town so thank for pointing this out for me. I will sort it out and put it right. I didn't want to go as far as Boldmere Rd anyway because I wanted to turn right at Sutton Rd.
