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.

Might find it on this map. You'll need to keep clicking on it to enlarge it.

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!!!

Re: 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.

Re: Wellington Street

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.
