FLY2 10,108 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 I heard that the actor George Costigan of Connie fame starring Stephanie Beacham once lived there. Possibly whilst Connie was being filmed, as it was set in the East Midlands hosiery industry. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Waddo 921 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 From the way I look at the photo, it is Alfred st central, the church is at the top of it! If you can imagine looking back from the photo, commercial square is that way. That's how I see the picture anyway. Other wise, if looking down Alfred st North, the church would be on the left! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
