The house on the far left, No 5, was owned by St Bede's College, the main buildings of which are situated on the opposite side of Wellington Road. This house was used in the distant past for the preparatory class of pupils at the school - the "Lower Third". The next house, number 7 was owned by the Salford Diocese and was rented out. An author, H W Timperley who wrote "A Cotswold Book" lived at 7 Wellington Road in June 1929. L S Lowry contributed twelve drawings for this book and corresponded with H W Timperley at this address. See http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/download/GB%200425%20u52 The other houses were privately owned. The land at the end of this side of the road was owned by the College, which later acquired all these properties which were then demolished. This road used to be unadopted, but was later tarmaced in the 1970's? by the local authority. Also see Image] Image] Image]
