St Matthew Terrace, Great Lister Street

[WelshBrummie03]

I have so many relatives that come from this Terrace of back-to-back houses, so wondered if anybody else relatives came from here too.

Talbot is the surname of my relative mostly.

My 92-year-old nan and I were discussing this terrace today and she described it as being made up of six houses on one side and six on the other side. She talked of a neighbour Mrs Whitehouse who got injured while washing her clothes.

Thanks so much.

Map from 1889 is the best. By 1950 a few houses seem to have gone...

Here is a map from the 1880s showing St Matthwes terrace in pink. There seem to have been some changes by the 1950s, but I would guess that was after your nan was there

Big thanks!! Just so I can show my nan, she loves looking at where she lived, even though there isn't anything left of it or hardly any photo

I think this could be Lister Square Lyn, looks as though that could be the school at the back.
