I think 85 Cattell Rd would have been close to the Atlas Pub.

Phils my dad and on hols at the moment, but since I am told that I spent my first 18 months living at 150 Cattell Road thought it would be ok to chip in. We lived with my g-grandmother Ellen Lacey who had been there since about 1908, it sold a range of household things like paraffin and I think vegetables. We moved out in about 1955. My other g-grandfather was James Carr who lived just behind 150 in Dover Place until he died in 1933.
all the best
