History of 30 Eden Street

1913

Harry King

In 1981 Peggie Temple  of no. 55 reminisced:

“Mr King opposite at No 30 was a character. he was a fireman. he always left his bicycle outside so he could go off when the bell sounded outside his house summoning him to a fire. When it rang, out he’d come and off he’d go down to St Andrew’s Street.

When he died, i was only a little girl, but I remember they put the coffin on the tender. I watched from my bedroom window and saw the fire engine covered in flowers.” (CWN 19.2.1981)


1962

Mrs E W Peck
