for bert1 i hope this will do bert as my scanner in nackerd

Great pic ducko, Morpeth Buildings was Wood St, Brook st was next street along. cheers.

What was 'Morpeth Buildings?'

They were living accommodation,

my g.gran & granddad who came from warwickshire lived in brook st for a while,their next stop was new ferry were they eventually settled, is the picture of brook st? does anyone have any pics of brook st?

The Morpeth buildings were definitly in Wood St, Ducko just got the title wrong, looking at the photo, Brook St was the next street along to the left. The houses you see on the left of the photo shared the entry with the houses in Brook St

What approx year would this be? Is this the part of wood street that's still there?

The photo is the part of Wood st that was the other side of Watson St, from the part of Wood st thats there now, Morpeth buildings backed on to Irving Little, the paint and paper place in Cleveland St, The shop is still there but probably under a different name. Not sure when the photo was taken, it was still like that in 1957, i think they came down , not long after.

Ah, thanks Bert!

maps 1954? and 1968?

the google map seems to have streets marked wrong

Cheers Derek, any chance of putting the other half of Wood st up, 1954 map.

ah yes behind where LVW is now and as Bert said that paint shop...

Phil, you can see the Paint shop on the maps there, On the 54 map, its in front of the S in Cleveland Street

i'd like to see the 2nd half of brook st if possible? my g.grandparents lived at 387 in 1906.

thanks bert & derek.
