rozie Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I have always wondered why the house numbers on Marlcliffe Road jump from 22 to 42 and wondered if anyone might know. The houses from 42 upwards were built about 1912. The houses before (with garage block behind) were probably built in the 1920s. Does anyone have a map or pictures of the road after the 1912 houses were built but before the newer houses were built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vox Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 It happens quite often Rozie. The probable reason is that when the terraces were built, they started numbering from an approximate point which would leave adequate numbers for when the beginning section of the road was built upon. As you can see from the map, when they were eventually built, they were semis. Therefore, there were not as many houses as the corporation had allowed numbers for.
