Thank you Ron.

Second from the left is my Grandad John Garner.
Grandma & Grandad lived at the police station in St Paul's Ave Goose Green.
Bradshaw Girl. In the late fifties/ sixties Frank Leigh lived in one, and Jimmy Crogan lived in th the other. I believe there were only two semi detached police houses in St Paul’s Avenue. l lived in the police house, opposite Clapgate Lane.
Albert S. my grandma & grandad lived at No 2 St Paul' Ave which was the Police Station, No 4 was the Conservative Club. No 6 was the home of Mr & Mrs Preston who owned all three of the terraced properties.
Bradshaw Girl. It would appear that the semi detached police houses were built at a later date than when your grandfather lived in St Paul’s Avenue.
