Re: Photographs of Gerard Street, 1970's/1980's

Hi Mark

Ashton has changed a lot for good and for bad. It still retains some of its beauty spots such as the Three Sisters , Ashton Heath, Skitters Wood and a particular favourite of mine is the path and wooded area between Ashton Heath and Golbourne Rd.
However, a great deal of residents are angry about the over development of our area: supermarkets that we dont need and industrial units being built when there are so many lying empty.

A group has been set up to try and combat over-development , I thought you might like to take a look at their website. www.ashtonmad.co.uk

As for photographs, is there anything in particular you want a photo of?

Cheers and Regards

Andrede
