Of the 1893 residents of Vernon Terrace, a number appear to be Gardeners or in service in some way.

Few interesting names to ponder on :

Francis Evans, 16 Vernon Terrace, Gardener to H Steel Esq

Samuel Foster, 19 Vernon Terrace, Gardener to Mrs Mark Firth

John Thomas Hibbitt, 30 Vernon Terrace, Gardener to Sir Henry Stephenson

Hugh Bawn, 4 Vernon Terrace, Manchester Road, Gardener to J B Jackson, Esq

Henry Dawson, 46 Vernon Terrace, Manchester Road, Coachman to George Howson, Esq, Ranmoor

Jacob Turner, 6 Vernon Terrace, Manchester Road, Coachman to Herbert Hutton, Esq

Charles E Abbot, Moordale, Vernon Terrace, Manchester Road, Gardener to Major Dransfield

[Might be worth looking into "Spooner and Harrison", builders 1919-25

and Herbert S Knowles, builder (T W Knowles & Son), 1925

to see if they go back any further]
