Thank you for that information Clive.
I was born in 1945 but only lived in Grantham Rd for about 6months before we were moved elsewhere. I just wondered what had happened to those large houses.
as already said a lot of old victorian houses were divided into multiple occupancy hence you say 15 others living there..no 99 along with other houses in grantham road did suffer bomb damage with some injuries so it is likely that no 95 could also have been damaged and so demolished...difficult to say exactly when they were demolished..here is a list of those injured
