    Thanks Mike. I was thinking they might have been houses because the windows above the shop frontage looked similar to the houses in Milton street. which is just off Newtown row. As informative as ever Mike "Thanks"

    The Spitfire

    Bernard! while sitting outside a chip shop, eating my chips. I noticed "Through a load of scaffolding" a blue plaque on the wall of the house. On closer inspection it was the birthplace of Good old Mr Michell. I'll see if I can take a picture next time I'm up there.

    Grave photo required, Witton cemetery

    :)No! Steve, But it was close. They were a bit rushed I took them on the way to work, so I didn't have much time to take any more. We didn't go Sunday as we usually do. We had too much running around to do. But I'm glad you like them, my pleasure! to help. Reg.
