Arif Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hi, I wonder if any of you members can help with the location of this photograph? When I first saw it my immediate thought was Howard Street but now I'm having second thoughts! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The streets from Norfolk street down to the River Sheaf were all laid out on Alsop Fields, starting in the 1790's. Vincent Eyre agent of the Duke of Norfolk named all the streets after the duke's family, titles and possessions giving us Norfolk St, Howard St, Furnival St, Surrey St, Earl St, Arundel St etc. and one after himself Eyre St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
