They included Sefton Street, Tower Street, Water Street, Board Street and parts of Temple Street and Adelaide Street. We have managed to piece together most of this old section of the town through photos.
Euston Street was another to disappear in 1939 and stood where the old BHS building was. Sadly we have no photos of it – do you? Let us know. Other lost streets are featured too including a couple away from the town centre.
