Marple District Centre
Marple District Centre was changed radically in the 1970s when Market Street was paved over and Hibbert Lane was extended between Church Lane and Stockport Road. The numbered images in this album were taken by Marple UDC during these changes and the location of each shot was marked on a large plan of the area, which is also included as the first image in the album. Additional photos taken by Pete Robinson during the mid-1970s to early 1980s were provided by Eddie Ashworth in 2015. Both Eddie and Pete worked on the District Centre improvements for several years back in the day.
Note: Although all the numbered Marple UDC images are labelled 1970 in the Archives, several of them feature vehicles registered later than this. So it has to be assumed the photos were taken in the early 1970s, rather than 1970 exactly.
