[Retlaw]

Ave toud thee afore Bob Dobson, that my fayther played football on Bells Field when he were a lad, befour fost world war, the field itself wur weer the houses now are, on the right as you go up Belfield Rd, just higher up than where the old St Mary's school was.

On the old street map I have dated 1863, its one of the streets marked in red not yet built on, and it was named Robert Nuttal St then.

Let me know when your next in the library and I will bring it and show you.

What puzzles me is that streets were named then, 30 years beforer some of them were built, although some of those named were never known as such.
