It was my first home hence the interest
Re: slap up
The old "slap up" houses were "Slapped up" by builders but the residents looked after them and kept them neat and shiny - if a little dilapidated!
I have been looking for photos of the area for some time but no luck so far. If you have any stories or photos please email me!!
The area consisted of Buchanan, Kirk, Oxford, Henderson and Turner Streets. This area is now completely different - good housing = some very new!

Re: slap up
HI John, I think including buchanan st and oxford st in the equation is stretching it a bit. I left there in 1948 as a 5 year old and my memories are very faint. we had coal fires so the coal man had one helluva job. I can not remember if it was gas or electric lighting prob the former.
