IThey do seem to do some maintenance from time to time.
I'm just surprised that nothing has been done with them. With a bit of work they'd make an ideal little suite for the Premier Inn that they are pretty much in the grounds of anyway, or even City Centre apartments.
I can only think that there is maybe an issue with water supply or some such which means that they can't be easily converted.
Thankyou for the prompt reply Lyn but I think our wires are crossed somewhere, the housethat my mother and I couldn,t remember wasn,t our house but the house on the corner of holliday st. and bridge st. that the thread was about. Cheers.hello splinter and welcome..if you could give us the names of your parents and what years they were at holliday st we maybe able to find them on the online electoral rolls so at least you would have the address...thats a great age for your mom

Great picture. Hopefully they are clearing all the weeds & brambles out of the garden area to stop any more wall falling down.A side view photo of the house on the junction of Bridge Street and Holliday Street today with the redevelopment activity at Arena Central in the background across the road. I had allows assumed it was part of a longer terrace but after reading the thread it seems to have always been just the single house. I wonder if the land it stands on belongs to one of the developments or is separately owned?
Love these pictures, not only do they show the cottage, they also show what used to be where my place of work is.Just for interest ...

Thanks for the old photos. Its interesting to see how the area used to be. For a good view of the building from the other side as it sits just outside the Arena Central development today you can zoom in on the live camera atLove these pictures, not only do they show the cottage, they also show what used to be where my place of work is.
