Orchard Street was indeed on the Puzzle (along with Regent Street, Hampden Street, and West Street) - the orchard was originally at the back of the Baptist chapel on Station Road, so it all fits in nicely.

The orchard was owned, in the 1850's, by John Bakewell, who was manager of the gasworks for a while. (And if anyone wants to start talking about the gas works - that brings back a few memories - can I suggest you start a new topic!)

Incidentally Kinza, I found an old school photo this weekend which includes one of your brothers on it!
