The History of Tettenhall Then & Now - Picture This
The Rock
A view leading up The
Rock around 1900. A tram descends while a variety
of carts with horses attached wend their way up and down. On the
left is the House and brick building pulled down towards the end
of the last century for what is now the Express and Star Training
Centre car park.
At the time of the 'THEN' photograph there was
a bicycle repair and sales business in operation at the premises.
Avenue Lodge on
the right still exists as can be seen in the 'NOW".
On the
right is Avenue House Lodge - which still exists and has recently
been very sympathetically restored (see also Other
Listed Buildings and People of Tettenhall - Thomas Telford)..
You
can see many more retrospective photographs in the book 'Tettenhall' by
Jon Raven and ‘
A Tettenhall History’ by Geoffrey Hancock.
