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.

Mark says this is ‘my mum aunt & uncle plus 1, I think in Kidds Terrace’.

Many thanks to Mark Turner for sending these images.
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 ?
