Victoria Terrace Langley Mill-the sign is still there-and looks recently painted!!!! It is where I thought it was from Robert's description-in the gap between the Fish/veg shop and Basil Bottomleys Grocery shop (Basil married the young lady who owned the fish shop) The street sign is in the side of the old fish shop-now the Pizerria! So I guess Victoria terrace must still be an address!

suzard Researcher	Wells Terrace replied on: 3/9/2005 9:54:19 AM I think it's where I suspected! Just found a relative of mine lived there in 1922! 1922 electoral role shows Charles Sidney Plant, Mabel Plant and Arthur Phillips living at 3 Victoria Terrace!
RMMee Moderator	Wells Terrace replied on: 3/9/2005 7:20:32 AM Yes. I'm not sure when the houses were pulled down. By my day, and still now, if you look up the gap between the two shops, you can only go a short distance before coming to the wall of Turner's, but this was a later extension to their works.
suzard Researcher	Wells Terrace replied on: 3/8/2005 11:49:24 AM Robert-was Victoria Terrace the wide entrance between what was (in 1950-60's) the fish and greengrocery shop and Basil Bottomley's grocery shop? I can't remember what is there now-must go and have a look. I am enquiring as an aquaintance's parents kept both of those shops in 1940-early 50's.
RMMee Moderator	Wells Terrace replied on: 3/8/2005 6:22:32 AM Turner's, especially if he was living on Victoria Street
Bagpuss!!	Wells Terrace replied on: 3/7/2005 10:32:12 PM Thanks Robert, One other small enquiry, fathers occupation is listed as Railway wagon painter. Do you think he would have been employed by G.R.Turner or the Railway?
