7 Eslington Street Garston

[Harve]

Could anyone confirm that no 7 Eslington Street still stands and was not demolished for roadworks, Harve,

[PhilipG]

Yes, it still stands.
Only numbers 1, 2 and 4 were demolished.
Lord knows why, because I stood on a large grass verge to take the second photo.

Hi Philip
This was the house my great Grandmother died in (1938) what was your interest in taking pics, This is really great to have them so quickly as we are at a bit of a stalemate right now, you woulnt happen to have any pics of 4 Bennett street as this is where her daughter Lottie lived with her husband Arthur
Jones, what year were the front houses demolished Best wishes Harvey Joyce

[PhilipG]

I noticed you lived in London, and I had to go to go to Garston today, anyway.

All I want is to find a similar site for Oxfordshire, so somebody could take a photo of the old family home on my father's side.

I should be able to get to Bennett Street in a few day's time.
