Canal and Hawson Street (photo)

January 1900

This is a view of the Canal, with Hawson Street running down to it. Neither exist today, replaced by the Wombwell bypass and a street of new houses

I was born and brought up in Hawson Street and spent many days negotiating the canal over stepping stones so we could play at football and cricket in fields to the left of the picture
