algy Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 These terraced houses were occupied by workers from a particular industry and reflected in the name of the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest unless you had heard of the street you are not going to guess it, I'm pretty sure that Grapp's knew it but declined to say to give others a chance. The answer is - Robinsons glass workers lived in the terraced houses in Glasshouse Row off Factory lane. Bank Quay. The photo was taken in 1907 as the houses were due to be demolished.

harry hayes Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Terrible housing but imagine the thrill when newly weds announced they had got a terraced house of their own, albeit probably as tenants. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
