Downing/Willis

Hi

Yes Northwood Street. My family lived there for a while
after the first World War.
I have a few photo's showing the area and type of housing.
Marlbourgh Place shows the typical housing which was located close by.

Amazing Mike--your pic on the left is the bit that my friend bought off the council I think and Goslings is now his business (AE Hariss) and there is a gate across the road!
