I was after the lower end of Omerod Street (number 12) -which I think must be long gone - I guess the house was opposite Globe Works. Also, Maden Street - which i think is not long gone, given the age of the house built where it once was. um.... upper end of Waterloo street 108 - again, replaced by flats. the list is huge. My Husbands family know so little about their own recent history, and it helps build a picture of the life they led - esp knowing 9 children were raised in a ?3 bed house in Marsden Street. Not unusual I know, but beyond most of our understanding.
