On the Kidd’s Terrace page, Mark left a comment mentioning that his great grandfather Henry Kidd built the terrace. Henry was a Freeman of York, and this photo shows one of the documents relating to this, dating from 1838.

Many families from the Layerthorpe area moved elsewhere, many to Tang Hall. This photo shows one of the coronation parties there in 1937.

    Was Kidd’s Terrace also known as Kidd’s Lane? I have a birth registration from 1842 indicating that my Grandfather, William Davison, was born on Kidd’s Lane in Layerthorpe. Trying to determine where it was on a map of the time.

    I worked at Clarkson & Son Model engineers on Layerthorpe from 1967 to 1973. Just wondered if anyone had any pictures relating to this firm .

    Was there Hilda Kidd who went to New Zealand in 1925 ?
