Live broadcast Cherepovets. Lenina Street, Naberezhnaya Street (Vologda region)
Lenin Street originates from the river Yagorba and runs, almost parallel to the river Sheksna, through the Industrial part of town, ending near the factory "SeverStal Metiz" at the intersection with Bardina and Chkalova streets and the Memorial of Military Glory.
Before the renaming, Lenin Street was called Krestovskaya. If you look at it from a bird's eye view, you can see that the alley, called kriuli, and the street form a cross. For all the years of its existence, the street was the main street. Once here were built mostly one or two-story houses, then they began to cut into them the jaws of new buildings, which made a fairly wide Lenin Street looks like a narrow barrack corridor or an Italian courtyard: from one side to the other quite possible to stretch the ropes to dry laundry.
The street went straight up to the building of "Cherepovetsles", and then made a small turn to the left and ended around the current "Almaz", so the House of Defense (now in this building at 44, Stavlevarov Street is a branch of St. Petersburg State University of Economics in Cherepovets) was on Lenin. Straightened the street when they began to build high-rise buildings on it.
Since 1956, on Lenin Street began building residential 5-story stone houses. From 128 Vereshchagin Street, the first three five-storey buildings (some of the biggest and most beautiful in the city at that time) were built in Block 128. In the western part of the street the foundations were laid for large-panel houses for builders and metallurgists. The lower floors of the new buildings housed stores, institutions, and consumer services organizations. Inside the blocks were built child care centers.
Now on Lenin street there is Chamber Theater (the intersection with Soviet avenue) and the Children's Musical Theater, the Treasury and the insurance group "SOGAZ" buildings, sports complex "Jubilee" and the stadium "Metallurgist" (the intersection with Boulevard Domenschikov), many shopping centers. Nearby is Milutin Square.
What sights haven't remained to this day? First of all Leushinsky coaching inn. At the corner of Socialist and Lenin streets on the left was a knitting workshop, and on the right - the women's vocational school, where girls from bourgeois and merchant families were taught how to run a household. They were taught to sew, cook, take care of livestock, work in the garden and orchard... Behind Maksim Gorky Street there was a wharf where peasants from the surrounding villages came on horseback and where they could buy wood, hay, oats, and cattle.
The buildings of the court, the former Peasant's House, the kerosene shop, the water tower, and the city school have been preserved, but their "profile" has changed.
