Ye Olde Streets

Bridge Lane shop

Grand Central Cinema

The Grand Cinema, Chruch Street, c.1930. The Grand was opening in November 2913, under the management of Mr Tom Fylde, when silent films were shown. The first Talkie was "Under the Greenwood Treet", shown in 1928. The is now WHSmith. The two little shops beyond were converted from a disused cricket pavillion. The nearer was a sweet shop known as "Toffee Roberts" and the other was Jimmy Clarke's saddlery.

Kydds Grocer (now Kash 22)

JG Kydd & Co, Grocers & Provision Merchants, Church Street, in the late 1930's. Kydd's at this time was the epitome of a successful grocer's shop, using no less than three modern delivery vans. The plethora of advertisments is unlikely to meet with planning approval these days!

Flower Cottage

Flower and Pump Cottages, C.1900. Situated at the junction of School Lane and Hillside Road - which was then known as Back Lane - are these two cottages. Flower cottage still remains today, but Pump Cottage and its pump have long since gone. The Frodsham Endowed Boys' school and Overton School House can just be seen in the background.
