Eric Arthur Blair Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 The first house I lived in is in that picture, 63 Underwood Rd. Also the flat my dad was born in was in Brown Place. Both now demolished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmac Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) I stayed in the tenement in behind Brown St and Well St until 1960. You got to it through a pend in the first tenement block in Brown St. This is the first time I have seen a half decent photo of it. Thanks!
