Monk Street
​(Blue Bell Hill Rd to Gordon Rd)

Kellys Directory 1956

Does anyone remember Monk Street off Gordon Road ?. Anyone have any photo's of the road ?. Have such good memories visiting my grandmother there, sitting on the front step feeding the Pigeons. There seemed to be a great community spirit, everyone looked out for each other. Grandmother used to give me money to go over to Spinks shop on the corner of Monk street and Gordon road, always came back with a Lucky bag

My mother May Joan Fox born 1929 43 Monk Street, off Gordon Road, St Anns. Anybody have any memories of Monk Street or any photo's :-) (Graham Ward)
