Victoria Place 1933 Decima Street

Thanks to paperboy for help on this one, his mothers recalls the area before redevelopment in the 1930s.

Victoria Place could be found at the far end of Decima Street directly behind the Ship Public House in Long Lane and on the left in Wilds Rents when entering from Long Lane.

It would seem Victoria Place when demolished was replaced with a block of flats ( see picture ) although the buildings to the rear in Long Lane are as shown on the 1878 Ordnance Survey Map.

I understand the Ship Public House has now closed and turned into flats but the old Ship sign still remains

I think that is Ferrand Street on the left, and the last building on the left was a Sheet Metal Works. Was the Sheet Metal Works the Metal Box Company in Wild Rents.

Word of thanks to Sue Winston (Smeagher1) for the picture. Sorry Sue lost the information that went with the picture, obviously I knew Harry and the rest of the family, and I think the lady was also part of your family?

Added information provided by Sue (Smeager1) thank you Sue.
The lady on the piano is Nell Saunders; she was my friend’s mum. We met when I was about 8 and we’re still friends now. My dad (Harry Winstone) coached the boys on boxing. Nice surprise seeing him this morning.
