The street is still there, of sorts, it is the street which ran from Powell street down past St Georges Church, at the side of the Drill hall. It now leads to a car park.

What a shame these cottages were demolished ....they could have been done up,! I love stone built cottages I wonder when they were built. I don't remember them they must have been tucked away.

Ron, pictures like this are so important; not just to us but to future generations. Thankyou.
