"..with another view showing the railway bridge and the blocks of houses beyond to which you refer to, there was a distinct 'kick' a slight angle set about central of the blocks.

This image clearly shows the gable end of our house. The houses after the "kink" were eventually demolished (along with most of the rest of the Hyde Road end of Cambert Lane.)
"Next shot shows the opposite side of Cambert Lane with the Lake Hotel just visible on Hyde Road. Again about eight properties. After the Palatine wine shop on corner of Crossley Street was one adjoining house and then the railway bridge.

This image is of interest,as far as I can count there seems to be 9 properties on the block from Crossley Street to Hyde Road, add that to 2 more - the Shop on the corner and there is a house next door (not shown in this picture but it appears in the one above), so that is 11 properties. We were 29, meaning there had to be 13 numbered properties before ours (not counting the number 13), the "waste" ground in between the railway bridge and us may have had a number because it was some kind of yard. I don't know why this has become so important for me to find out as they had no relevance to me or "my story".
I distinctly remember the houses opposite us and a shop further up. Do you have any idea when that side of CL was demolished? They were definitely gone by 1980, I'm guessing the early 70's.
Many thanks again, all this is much appreciated.
