You are in [Places] [High Street Properties] [High Street (North) Photo Gallery]

Most photographs of the High Street buildings are included with the website page on each individual property.

However, a number of old photographs give more general views of the street, and a number are included on two Photo Gallery pages.

This page covers the northern end of the High Street, from the railway bridge to the canal bridge.

A second Photo Gallery covers the southern part of the High Street, from the railway bridge to Atherton Hill (seeHigh Street (South) Photo Gallery).
