Cooper Street (Alfred St Central to Peas Hill Rd)
A picture of my nana, Florrie Bradley on her doorstep at 41 Coooper Street in the 1950s.
Next to her was her daughter in law Agnes Bradley, my Uncle Ben's wife.
At her side is my cousin Janet Bradley, Agnes daughter.
At the end of the houses is the entrance to Penrhyn Terrace.
Janet on marriage in the 60s lived at 1 Penrhyn Terrace which is the house facing Cooper Stree t just inside the entrance. She stayed there until demolition raking the Penrhyn Terrace sign with her and is still held to this day.
Auntie Agnes and Uncle Ben lived at 13 Penrhyn Terrace up until demolition.....well remembered visiting days.....David Bradley
