Main Street, Long Eaton, Derbyshire
« on: Tuesday 16 May 17 20:20 BST (UK) »
I have been researching 3 Main Street, Long Eaton and whilst I can find information through census records, I have yet to come across any old photos of this house.

If anyone has any photos of this side of Main Street which links to Oakleys Road please could you get in touch.

Many thanks

Rachel

There is a book called Long Eaton Then & Now by Keith Reedman which contains a photo of Main Street c.1910.  No idea if the specific house you want is in the photo.

Perhaps a library may have a copy that you can look at.

It may be worth contacting the below to see if they can help with a photo at all:-

If you go down to the bottom of the welcome page you will find a link to download the photo library.  There may be a photo in there.

There is this from facebook, which looks quite active, and there may be other groups that are also relevant to try:

(This may deliver the same range of photos as the photo link referred to in post 2 - if so, pl ignore).

I googled "long eaton britain from above" which returns a range of images. But not the close up you are seeking.
