Not to my knowledge, but a few have suggested the link between the names.I am really amazed by all this, I thought my past was a long time buried. I asked a question Monday this week and since then my past is back, I have a picture of the house I grew up in and can almost trace my steps to school - Ingram Road and then Matthew Murray!!Will you keep you informed should I find out anything regarding the cricket link.Regards

Here's the 1890 map showing the cricket ground. It's where Domestic Road crosses Ingram Road today. At the left side of the map, there is the Mill Green Goit, which perhaps is where the name comes from when it changes later on.

Hi Biscuit-Tinnot sure of Photo date , but if you look closely at one of them there is what appears to be a vespa or Lambretta scooter parked in the street semi covered with a ( plastic? ) sheet. I would guess at a rough date of early sixties as motor bikes seemed to be more of a fifties thing, scooters the sixties, but no later than 1969 as this area was demolished about this time to make way for Domestic street industrial estate.

my pleasure Phill-dthe thing I love about this site is that you can recreate a history of your own city thats not a million years in the past. it's fairly recent and a lot of people from that past are still here who can verify things. For example whilst Leodis may have no reference to the "Lemmi" there are people still around who can supply another reference, more valid, ie croydon street Barktson Terrace etc and with luck the thing you seek may be tagged on somewhere along the line.Some of the postings (Drapsies pub stuff and your own industrial pics especialy) have made Me look twice at where I live.regards Tabby
