Hello Lyn
being unfamiliar with reading this type of map are you able to explain to me what the buildings to the rear of number 5 marked on the map 2/11 and 3/11 refer to.Are they houses?
thanks
Hi Carolina, about 9 years ago you were asking for pictures of Richmond Terrace, Bridge St West. Lyn posted a couple of images, I don't know if you ever resolved this but I'm fairly certain that one of Lyn's images was in fact Richmond Terrace.Has anyone got any photos of Richmond Terrace, Bridge Street West, please?
Brummy-lad Its marvellous how even 9 years later someone finds more info. Many thanks and appreciated.Hi Carolina, about 9 years ago you were asking for pictures of Richmond Terrace, Bridge St West.

The reasons I think this are:
The picture on the left seems to show house no. 87 (see map).
The 'shop' at No. 85 in 1955 was a dining rooms, probably different by 1960 but I don't have a Kelly's for that year.
You can see the lamp-post in front of the terrace in both pictures.
You can also see a distinctive black box on the wall of the house in the terrace.
Counting the houses between entries (on the picture and the map) works out the same.
No problem Carolina, I am researching images of Lennox Street to put on the map and that image turned up, I was quite intrigued (I love those terraces and that one was particularly cute) so my research was diverted for a while. I would like to know what shop was at No. 85 though, there was no listing for it in the Kelly's 1964.Brummy-lad Its marvellous how even 9 years later someone finds more info.

My aunt and uncle lived No 6.No problem Carolina, I am researching images of Lennox Street to put on the map and that image turned up, I was quite intrigued (I love those terraces and that one was particularly cute) so my research was diverted for a while.

I also thought it was a No. 2 and certainly the same house in both pictures.Lyn. After tarting it up a bit, I would say it is no 2 in the centre, with some whitish lines on either side, which make it look like a double number? //

yes john certainly taken outside the same house judging by the windowsI also thought it was a No. 2 and certainly the same house in both pictures.
hello - the census definitely says 105 Bridge Street West - could it have been a 'court' at Bridge st - hence number 2 - or a different location, although that would seem unlikely - cheers BobI also thought it was a No. 2 and certainly the same house in both pictures.
does anyone know who the bloke with the musical instrument might be? - cheers Bobbobs grandad on the right...location unknown but i will post it hereView attachment 175055
Yes there's a good chance it was 2 back of 105, on your second picture you can see the entry to the left of the door.hello - the census definitely says 105 Bridge Street West - could it have been a 'court' at Bridge st - hence number 2 - or a different location, although that would seem unlikely - cheers Bob
Looks like a 2 to me.........Lyn. After tarting it up a bit, I would say it is no 2 in the centre, with some whitish lines on either side, which make it look like a double number? //
