My mother grew up in #25 Malcolm street. She lived there with her grandparents, Alice and Joseph Humm from about 1942 until 1960. Her grandparents ran an accommodation house for Jesus College students and housed mostly international post graduate students. Her grandmother cooked a full English breakfast for the students most days.
