Thanks Mickey
Lovely to read about The Avenue in more detail.
The houses look fine to me. It was strange to read that they were viewed as unfit to live in.

The houses probably were fine, Lisa. By condemming them as unfit the Council would be able to compulsorily purchase them for peanuts. From personal experience I know that the same thing happened about the same time with Pear Tree Grove in Liscard when they were planning the new ring road. Outside WC = unfit for human habitation = don't have to pay the market value. Nothing much changes.

Just an add on to this thread
In 1891 Thomas was living at 5 Wright Cottages, Seymour Place East.
Does anyone have a photo of these cottages at all? It looks like Seymour Place East was replaced by the modern houses as it doesn't exist anymore and seems to have been absorbed into Seymour Street.
Thanks

Lisa, tried to pm you but won't allow as you are over the limit or something? Please clear it out or whatever you do and I will try again.

Apols for reviving this thread, but it seemed like the most sensible place to put these pics now that I've found them:
