Who lived here?

Put the people back into the places.

Perhaps you grew up in a terrace, worked on a corner, or remember the family next door. Explore the list below and find the places you knew. We’re preparing a way for you to add your connection directly to this website.

Coming soon / Your part of the story

Soon, you’ll be able to add your details.

Add your name, the years you lived here, your family connections, memories and photographs. Once reviewed, contributions will appear on the website beside the relevant street or terrace, helping neighbours rediscover one another.

For now, enjoy browsing the list. Contributions are not open yet.

A working historical directory.

This carries forward our earlier list of 422 names, with Strickland Street added to correct an omission. Repeated names are separated by their parent street: Albert Terrace in Bean Street is a different location from Albert Terrace in Gillett Street. Coverage, historical spellings and many dates still need checking; this is a growing research list rather than a verified complete gazetteer.

Find your place.

Search a name or its parent street, then open its historical place record. Adding your own details and memories is coming soon.
