Ive sent a PM to NSHA to get him to look at the forum.

Bob I have several comments on this. First I'm assuming you mean on the north side of Queens Road as most of the houses on the south side are pretty ordinary. I used to live when young in one on the south side between Marlborough Road and Nutter Road and I wouldn't say any of the houses opposite were what you might call "splendid". The bigger ones were between Marlborough Road and Whalley Road and I don't think any of the Queen's Road houses are as old as the one in the photo. Also most of the ones on the north side are of red brick. so I'm struggling to picture where this house called Highbury was/is. Checked on Google Streetview, still can't picture it.
