Subsequent Building Alterations
John O’Brien’s historic cottage was sadly demolished sometime around 1962 and has since been replaced with a factory that appears to been converted into a residence with no front or back garden space.
This is the 1895 MMBW map. The valued front and back yard open garden space marked green which these 2 Victorian era terrace homes once had has all since been lost and are now totally built over by the redevelopment.
