Hi Westmorland,

There is a picture of Syndall Avenue on the Manchester images site, a nice one with people. Its picture ref m12072, taken 1965.

I find with that site its best to search on the street name only, that is 'Syndall' not 'Syndall Avenue'.  Don't know why, but it always seems to search better on just a single word.

Couldn't see one for Garden St though.

Good luck,
 :) Barbara

Maybe your mum will recognise the people in the photo, that would be special!
