Your map shows Lavender St. and Mount St. without a break in them, but I lived in 28 Lavender St, and I can remember a twitten linking the streets together.

Does any body remember the Brewery that was in Lavender Street called Hedges and Hedges? Also there was a barbers shop near the bottom owned by a Canadian called Eddie? Provost who had a son at our school.

Grateful thanks from a descendent of folk from this area. I have been having so much trouble locating the streets. I have ancestors who lived in Mount St, Paradise St, Hereford St, Essex St, Bedford Buildings and Crescent Cottages. My great-grandfather's house (14 Bedford Buildings) was bombed during WWII.

Harry was correct about the twitten. I walk through there many times from Hereford Street to St Mary's School in Mount Street. I think there were some garages on the corner of the twitten in Lavender Street. Sue, out of interest what were your ancestors' names in that area?
