Stephen Anderson took these photos back in 1992, just off Victoria Street. As he contemplated buying this old house, it was already boarded up and shortly after was demolished to make way for Victoria Care Home, built in 1996.
How remembers this house and what can you tell me about its modern history? (I have older Pre WW2 details already mapped out, thanks)
