Redlands hospital in Kirklee - my pal's mother was born their and bizarrely enough he met his current girlfriend at a party in the place after it had been converted to flats.

Don't know if Phoenix Rd was renamed as new, but there was a Phoenix Park Terrace and Phoenix Park itself, which would by sitting underneath the M8 to the east of Garscube Rd these days.

didn't realise docks were filled in right in front of the co-op building.

Thanks very much - I'm sure I hadn't imagined the 1st photo. Hope you reward the kids (and learn their mystic computer ways)!
