Hello Lyn,
Great photo's! It's Dave from Paddington St. We exchanged e-mails a few years ago regarding the Hockley Brook. I have since been in contact with Albert Clayton, he lived in Paddington St.too. He's living in the Philippines now. Good to see that you are still diggin' away...

fantasic pics of my old house lyn,i left there in 1966/1967.
on the first photo at the rear of the zodiac car the only house not bricked up was and might still be the caretaker of millers lamps. next door to that r/h side was a empty house full of junk. it was never used .and had no roof. the car is out side 89. my house the loft space of the row stretched the full length. you could get up there through the airing cupboard hatch and come down in to any one of the houses. peteView attachment 97094View attachment 97092View attachment 97096View attachment 97095hi nick here we go then...now then the 2nd photo could be lucky for you..i have asked mikejee to check out the way the numbering goes because if its low even numbers from this side of the street your dads house could very well be on it..fingers crossed...
