The beginning of the end for Street Houses.
The children had must have been told the photographer was coming and are eagerly waiting for their photo to be taken. Street houses now seems to have changed it’s name to Upton Cottages and what I knew as Upton Cottages, the few houses that stood on a slight angle at the junction of Micklow lane and the cliff road, have been renamed Micklow cottages. Has anyone else noticed this?
Street Houses, Primitive Methodist Chapel AD 1872. this chapel and thePrimitive Methodist Chapel at Arlington Street Loftus AD 1870. are unusual they are both aligned north/south instead of east/west as other christian churches are. is this peculier to Primitive Methodists (or a faulty compass). I was baptised at Arlington Street and I don’t know the answer.
Iain Warnes was born at Upton and christened in this chapel in 1939, his grandfather Walter Warnes, had a small farm at Upton. His Great Uncle Aaron Rolling had a smallholding at Hummersea next to Tommy Hart.
Thanks for all that information Eric
