Hi Ray, I was catching up on recent posts on the Clifton Road thread a couple of days ago and read your reply out to my 95 year old Mother on Thursday - who was in hospital at the time really poorly -I has previously recalled her talking about Arthur Burley many years ago. I thought she would...

These houses led up to the photo in your post "230" - picture 3 - houses 95 - 107.

I think the numbering of these houses is slightly higher. My families recollection of houses with these identities were they were on the opposite side of the road to the office license and Jacksons Fish and Chip Shop (not directly opposite - just slightly higher up Clifton Road). On the right...
