Thanks too to Andi Brigham for sending memories from Rose E Senior, who lived on Bilton Street.

Andi has also sent me two spreadsheet files containing all the information on the area’s residents and businesses from the street directories of 1951 and 1961. It’s a wealth of information, and must have taken many hours (days, perhaps) of work. I’m in the process of converting the info from some of the streets into PDF format. The first one is on the Duke of York Street page.

It’s from discussions with her parents Kay and Dennis Durkin, and it’s fascinating. Please do have a read and add comments if it prompts further memories.

Thanks to readers who completed the questionnaire I’ve been able to add your memories to the pages on Kidd’s Terrace (thanks to David), Bilton Street (thanks to Joyce), Layerthorpe (thanks to Terry), and also add a page on Portland Place, thanks to Mike. These are in addition to the earlier contributions by Trevor (Redeness St) and Trev A (Rymer St).

Thanks to Sandra I’ve also added some information and links to two interesting and connected stories from World War Two, on the page about the camouflaged gasometer.
