Hi Ronnie, thanks so much for this, much appreciated.  Unfortunately because of the parental controls we have on our router,  Mam grew up on Lanchester Road during the 40s and 50s so I was hoping to see something from that era ideally, but thank you for taking the time to help.

Hi folks

Bit of a long shot, but I'm looking for any photos of Lanchester Road in Grangetown and wondered if any of you lovely Rootschatters may have some in your photo albums, or know where I might find some?

I know there's a book about Grangetown (my parents have it) but from my recollection there is no photo of Lanchester Road - however please correct me if I'm wrong and I'll ask them to dig it out (could be in any number of boxes as they moved recently!) ive posted some of lanchester road used to live ther its on facebook prod to be a grangetowner iff you cant find them let me know and i will send them to you .

Many thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hi Ronnie, thanks so much for this, much appreciated.  Unfortunately because of the parental controls we have on our router, I can't access Facebook so can't do what you suggest.  Never mind.  Mam grew up on Lanchester Road during the 40s and 50s so I was hoping to see something from that era ideally, but thank you for taking the time to help.

ive still not found any pics from 50s n 60s. but i wonder iff you can help me im after any pics of the bowling green that was in grangetown, behind st davids road on the ici field.
