Christopher Bird, Herbert Randle (grandfather), and Paul Bird on Kersal Dale around 1981. Roll your mouse over the image to see this spot in March 2009 (28 years later)
A cracking picture taken of Grace Randle (Paul Bird's grandmother) with Brownie on the dirt track which led from South Radford Street to Radford Street (the track across Kersal Dale). In the background you can see Chaucer Court and John Bacon Court would have been to the left. Roll your mouse over the image to see the same spot in 2009.
Another photograph of Grace Randle on the grace between Shakespeare and Shelley House with Brownie the dog. In the background you can see a period van and the bungalows on Kersal Dale. Roll your mouse over the image to see this spot today
Herbert Randle cuts a birthday cake in 1976 and through the window you can see Shelley House.
Paul and Christoper Bird play football on the grass between Shelley House and Shakespeare House. This is probably in the early 1980s. You can see the "new trees" on the edge of Kersal Dale which were absent in the picture immediately above. Roll your mouse over the image for the same spot in March 2009 almost 30 years later
