Rhyl Street was indeed bombed, on the night of 21/22 December 1940. It was hit by one of a stick of bombs that straddled the area between Watson Street and Conway Street, causing damage in Watson Street, Rhyl Street, Romilly Street, and Dacre Street, and on both sides of Conway Street. One of the bombs was the one that hit the Ritz Cinema, killing five people.

Payson Street actually ran between Livingstone Street and Vittoria Street, but I don't think I've ever seen a photo of it.

I posted a couple of colour photos of Jackson Street here; I think I've also got a few B&W ones, so I'll add those here at some point.

The McAteer's used to live in Kinmel St. next door to my mate Roger Jones whose parents were deaf mute.
I lived in Clwyd St. with my nan.

hi my frends grandparets lived in kinmel st, and the were deaf mute her name was jenny jones but she moved to south africa when she was about thirteen and we lost touch after acouple of years, a long shot i know but i dont suppose you ever heard anything about her did you?

I don't remember a Jenny Jones, but Roger had a brother Stanley in the Fire Service who went to Rhodesia.
My mate Roger was sadly killed in a motorcycle accident in 1959.
His dad used to work at Cammel Lairds.

that would probably have been my friends dad in was rhodesia not south africa memory not too good as it was such a long time ago now thanks anyway you are the first person i know of who remembers them it was jenny that taught
me the deaf and dumb alphabet while we were in school

There is a sister to Roger and Stanley, who lives in Devon.
She 'signs' (for deaf viewers) on TV down there, I was in touch via Friends Reunited but not for a few years.
I went to Holy Trinity then on to Hemmy, left school in 1954.

jenny would be about 62/63 now we went to conway sec, i know she married in rhodesia but after that i havent got a clue what happened its one of those things that you often wonder what happened to them but dont know how to find her if at all she is in this country she may have stayed in rhodesia, and of course if you dont know someones married name you dont have alot of chance of finding them
