The 'new' Scholes begins to take shape
Photo: Scholes Malc

The new starts to replace the old in this photo taken over St. Catherine’s Rec looking down Scholes. The last shops of old Scholes remain adjacent to the Balcarres & our house remains standing in Stanley Street. But one question has always intrigued me about this photo – what is the large building adjacent to Scholes Labour Club?( I have an idea but will someone confirm?)
