Hi, can somebody help me? Me and my mate have been racking our brains trying to remember the name of the block of flats that used to be in or just off Patten Street (close to The Great Float pub). I just know we're gonna kick ourselves when we find out! Nonetheless, I'd greatly appreciate any help with this.
As a kid the ones I remember up the Price Street corridor were, in no particular order; Brunswick Court Neston Gardens Queensbury Gardens Oak & Eldon Gardens Livingstone Gardens
Beaufort Square was nearby but if I remember rightly, that was behind the Halfway House Pub.
Gilbrook Square is/was off Laird Street and near to the KFC.
these were earlier places from possibly 1950 to 1970 as I remember The great float hotel was in upperbeckwith street that joined pattern street was run by Hughie Toale for around the same period new flats were built in maybe the 70/80s
Patten Street flats from the 1960s OS sheet. The area of Carol Gardens was occupied by prefabs at the end of WW2, as shown in the photo below, which also shows Beaufort Square at right.
