My grandfather, Edwin Charles Dowding lived at Grange Lodge, Street during the early 1920's. I was wondering if any member of the Street Society might be able to confirm where Grange Lodge was situated. Page 113 of Michael McGarvie's 'Book of Street' has a picture of the Lodge which was reputed to be near the Cross. Having visited the area today, I am not altogether convinced this is correct. Also, do you know of the existence of any other photos of Grange Lodge? Finally, from a blank delivery note from the 1910 to 1919 period, it would appear that my grandfather traded as a 'fruit dealer' at Street. Does the Society's archive include early commercial directories?
Any information or leads you are able to provide would be most gratefully received.
Yours very sincerely,
Clive Dowding
