“My parents were tenants in Preece’s Buildings in the 1930s. Preece’s Buildings were in a cul-de-sac between Gardner Street and Regent Street with a narrow entrance in Church Street. There was a solicitor’s office, a baker, approximately ten cottages and two communal washhouses on the left hand side of the lane, and the toilets were opposite the houses looking on to Regent Street. Cottage no. 12 was at right angles to the other cottages and completed the cul-de-sac, and faced down the lane to Church Street. There were no gardens or bathrooms, so most people used the public baths in North Road.”

From here, turn into Jubilee Street.
