My 2nd Great Grand Uncle Thomas Booth and his wife Mary (nee Whitehead) lived at No.6 Kidds Terrace in 1885. He was a waterman and his son Thomas was the lock keeper on the river Foss in the Foss basin.

I spent my first holidays in kidds tce staying with my lovely aunty edie and uncle fred .The main memory I have of that house was that the stairs were in a cupboard, and it was very cosy.I loved York ,this was in the 1950s/60s.Im sure there was a goat tethered in the back lane?

My great grandfather Henry Kidd built the terrace – Sadly demolished before my time – lovely to see a photo!
My mum & aunt would talk about living there often – Got a photo of the little kitchen of their house
