Cliff Ton 10,459 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 All the refs in the news archives seem to say Agatha Cottages , Brierley Street .......over to the map guys ! Glad you found it on Brierley Street, because I couldn't find any references to it. So...... was told it was near the top of wilford road ,off a street near a picture house, Agatha Cottages isn't specifically marked, but Wilford Road (top end) is the one on the left; and the red cross is about where this cinema (Imperial) was. So both your clues fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roe1958 4 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 at least the spelling was right,must have been a small area not to be on the maps,went to roland green with a lad who lived on arkwright street at the rear of the dry cleaners,the only way to his house flat was along a wooden walk way around the walls of the shops at the rear yard, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,871 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Stuart was born about 1954, think he had a brother called Leon, not sure if any others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
