I have a brother lives on Barnsley St... it doesn't look like that now... bumper to bumper cars down both sides of the road......

Are those climbing roses I see on the front of the houses on the right... they would be the old fashioned roses, it would have smelled heavenly when they were all in bloom....

Yes, the vehicles in Barnsley St are packed in like sardines in a tin.

An old fashioned climbing pink/white rose with beautiful perfume is Madame Alfred Carriere, ideal for planting near an entrance door.
