A little street full of stone cottages. Those on the right share a common yard accessed through ginnels - a northern word meaning passageway.
Approach off Ingersley Road.
Leads to Chapel Street, Harrop Road.
Nearest shops - Palmerston Street.
Nearest pubs - Cotton Tree on the corner, New Con Club, Church House almost opposite the top end.
Why Silver Street? I'm not sure. Chapel Street at the top end was previously called Gold Street so perhaps that is a clue.
Doorstep milk deliveries (left) used to be the norm for every household but by the beginning of the 21stC they were becoming a rareity with very few milkmen serving few properties. Most households now get their milk with the supermarket shopping.
