As these were getting built, did Laird sell them off or rented them out.
In 1843 Mortimer & Harwood street directory the highest number appears to be 38
Was lairds house number 63 the last house built or the 1st
Would the number of chimneys be for that many rooms in the building as the 3 sides (not including the Town Hall side) havw a middle house with 21 chimneys as against the rest having 13 or 14 and also 4 windows between the front doors while the rest only have 2 windows.
Numbering today from the station side then anti clockwise
1 to 18
19 to 34
35 to 50
55 to 57 then town hall then 58 to 63
