ARTIST Stuart Taylor took fellow members of Tyldesley Probus Club on the second part of his watercolour tour of Tyldesley past and present.
He highlighted churches and two 19th century commercial properties in Lower Elliott Street.
One was the former Ellis and Thomas Dean's reed and heald works in Lower Elliott Street which made mill equipment. The building still exists. The other was John Grundy's nearby iron foundry. Grundy's was demolished and the site redeveloped for housing and the foundry offices became a funeral home.
