This maybe slightly off-topic having read through, but the original post was talking about the area around Vernon Road. I'm trying to find out where Chard Terrace was. I've found Chard Street on Google, and so I'm presuming that it was a Victorian walking terrace somewhere off there, especially as it seems that there is new a school playing field running through Chard Street. Would anyone know whereabout Chard Terrace was? My great grandparents lived at 4 Chard Terrace from at least 1941-45.

Thank you all for your answers. This is a huge help. It's interesting that it was a hairdressers in 1965 as Beekay says, but a TV repair shop later, and now a hairdressers again.

I wonder if anyone can help me. I am looking for some detail regarding my 2x great uncle, Walter Knight. His brother, John, was my grandmother's father. From what I have discovered to date, he was a hairdresser living in Forest Fields when he died in 1961. His address given on the cremation register was 189 Berridge Road in Forest Fields. Googling I can see that this is still a hairdressers today, and from the photos online it looks to be a converted corner terraced house. He was 80 when he died so I'm assuming that he was no longer cutting hair, but the 1939 register shows this as his address
