Oak Tree cottages were at the back of The Royal Standard pub on the New Chester Rd [ if I remember right ]

I'm pretty sure that either my Great-Great-Grandad or the one before him was Coal Merchant operating out of Oak Tree Place (I may have my generations a bit muddled!)

...are you thinking of Kellett's Place, perhaps?

Yes - there still is a yard there - used by a repair garage
