So here it is.......not sure if this will be very easy or very difficult.

Cliff Ton 10,562 Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 regent street ? toll house ? Both the closest yet. A Clue. The building which now occupies the site of these houses is a recognisable landmark, not just "any old building" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,880 Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 If the houses were demolished in the sixties they must have been replaced with the Playhouse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
