DENTON FROM ABOVE
An aerial view from 1964
By Trevor and Vicki Blann
Aerial View of Denton - 1964
Blann family private collection
This view is dated 15th May 1967 and shows Denton and Mount Pleasant. The Avis Parade shops are in place, as is a new-looking Searchlight building. Wellington Road is only half its current length and the top half of Cantercrow Hill is still not much more than a dirt track up to the fields above.
How some things have changed, while others have remained the same. Is your house here? Clicking on the image should open a much larger version for you to look at.
Checking other photos, John Hills has posted an aerial photo that's clearly taken from the same plane at the same time. You can find it at http://www.ournewhaven.org.uk/page_id__1441.aspx
Date confirmed as 1964 - someone had poor handwriting!
