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.

Re: Wellington Street
Might find it on this map. You'll need to keep clicking on it to enlarge it.

Re: 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.
