Hi, wonder if anyone can help?
My dad's family lived for many years at 36 Commonside, where the bungalows now stand. His parents moved away in 1974 when the block of houses was demolished and replaced by the new bungalows. I have never found any photos of these houses - situated between the bottom of Hands Lane/Road and the hospital - and would very much like to see some.
My dad passed away a few years ago but, towards the end, we were talking about Commonside and he said that he was certain that a stone set into these houses said 'Intake Cottages.' Obviously nothing to do with the Intake out beyond Manor Top, and more likely because the land in what is now Crookes was unenclosed?
Any help gratefully received, and if anyone can remember the houses and wants to s3wop anecdotes I'm happy to do so.

I was reading the report about kirkleatham Hall Stables.
I would like to let you know i have information on just why the stable have not been renovated.
Its not as odd as it sounds. Work was due to commence quite sometime ago to renovate it (not sure to what) but on a site inspection it was found that the lofting area of the stables was full of a nest of bats. It is estimated that the colony is around 2000 strong.
