Cuckoo Cottages / Cuckoo Road

[lazyboybrum]

Hi I'm new to this , I'm trying to trace where my mother and father first lived when they married.
I have a census that says in 1938 they live at 3 cuckoo cottages with a George and Edith Harvey.
My father was George Kirby, my mother was Florence Kirby and there new born daughter was Edith .
I went to the cottages once when i was very young and i can remember come from cuckoo bridge ,
cuckoo road bent to the left and the cottages were on the right had side of the road.
Opposite there was a play area call the Pimple or Pimple hill and behind that , i thought it was the gas works
but recently been informed it was an eclectic generating plant .
My question is does anyone have and facts, photos, maps or info..
Many Thanks

Here is a map from 1950 that lists Cuckoo Cottages...



There is a small photo here, which I think was taken from the corner of Argyle St, which would put the cottages on the left in the distance...

Hi! lazyboybrum, sorry not sure if I can help with your question BUT I've been looking into my family history and I had an uncle George KIRBY and auntie Floss KIRBY who I believe had a baby daughter called Edith Georgina and they lived in Cuckoo Cottages according to 1938/9 census. Floss had a younger brother called FRANK plus other siblings. Floss and George also had 4 other kids including twins. Floss and George later lived at HALE GROVE (if they're the same people). Don't know if any of this helps but I only saw your post yesterday. Hope I'm not too late.
