There were several in the street; Guildford Street was quite a long street, at least a quater of a mile. Which part do you want to know about? I lived at the Farm Street end. Behind our house was a court of 14 houses. As far as I remember the party was planned to be in the courtyard but because of the weather, I assume, it was held in our front room. Each part of the street, or each court held its own party. I know of no photographs from ours but of course, they could exist. I have never seen anyone else from our bit of the street on this forum. I do have photos from the queen's father's coronation, George VI, in part of the Street.
 
Just looked up your old posts. I guess you are thinking abut the Eccles at number 75. That is on the other side of the Street, about 50 houses up from me opposite Paddington Street, where Lyn (Astoness) lived
