I'm a dammed sight older than you but when I close my eyes I can see the area where I lived as clear as any photograph, and as it was then, not as it is today.
The church which you refer to as the back of the Swan pub, wasn't at the back. it was in the middle of the block on Abbey St, from Adelaide St, to Birtwistle St, it belonged to the Swedenbourgs, and was known as the New Jerusalem Church. The Wesley Church was on the Corner of Abbey St, and Spring Gardens.
Behind the Swan, in Adelaide St, was a doctors house and surgery, it was later used by a firm of Printers, then came Cockerell Court, 4 houses in there, one of my ancestors lived there in the 1870's. Next up Adelaide St, was Hargreaves St, then Chapel St, Quarry St, Sandy lane, Midland St, Cobham Rd, and so on up to Barnfield St.
