Wellington Street

Does anyone remember a cottage, sideways on to Wellington Street, near the Pop Club. Don't know if I have imagined it or not!!

Used to take papers for Littlefairs at the other end of Wellington Street back when, remember what I guess would now be called cottages all along where the Pop car park is now. Don’t recall a sideways on one? Atarah may know? The opposite end of terrace to the Pop adjoining Church Street is sideways on there but back in the day it was a rather grand house (NoW on a Sunday) sadly a tad dilapidated now.

Re: Wellington Street

Its old age Cashy. Was there a gap between the Pop club and the terrace leading to Church Street. Sort of a garden. Maybe I am slowly going mad!!!! Lol!

Re: Wellington Street

The library will have some large-scale maps which will show just how the houses were aligned on the street.

Re: Wellington Street

Thanks for te map Susie. There does look to be a gap at the end of the terrace coming from Church Street. Cant get it out of my head that there was a house set back somewhere on Wellington Street!!!

There is a house that is set back and butted up to the main terrace of houses on Wellington street....but it is opposite the Pals centre.
I don't know if this is the one you are thinking of.
If I am out and baout tomorrow I will try to get a pic for you and see if this is the one......at least it might put your mind at rest.

Years and years ago(over 50 years) I had a friend called Margaret Duncombe...her parents had a TV(repair) shop across the road from this house. I always wanted to live in this corner house....just so that I could play out more with my friend.

Re: Wellington Street

Thank you Margaret. That would be great. I lived on Belfield Road for 20 years, when it was a nice place to live, and thats where my memory is coming from.

Re: Wellington Street

I knew Margaret Duncombe too. I know the house you mean too. When I was a kid The Walkers lived there, Mrs Walker used to run ances at St James school on a Friday. The house I mean was around the middle of Wellington Street.
