maddog Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 4 is on Frederick Street opposite Werneth Park. 1 is almost identical to a building on Shaw Road near junction with High Barn opposite the Kingdom Hall. So Mr Maddog is talking sense. Yeah - that's the one we were thinking of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) Cheltenham street then No, but getting warmer. On second thoughts, although I was looking for Albert Mount, 15-17 Sydenham Street, I've now discovered it comprises a block of 16 houses, which include Nos.5-13 Melrose Street and 58-68 Bartlemore Street, so you were CORRECT after all.

I should have known the Albert Mount bit, as i had a girlfriend who lived in the corner house over 25 years ago. I knew it had another name but couldn't remember it, so thanks for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
