Not 100% Joe, but he could be John Stenson. JJC.

Thanks for that John, it's a good guess if no one comes up with anything better, then John Stenson it is. :wink: :D

Great map

Looks like Trinity Road used to be Wadham (road/lane whatever) according to this???

Good to see the Jawbone pub there too.

That brings back memories of when I was on the cabs in the 80's, Joe. The call was ' The Prinny bingo for Coyle". Mrs Coyle was the mother of the lead singer of the Lotus Eaters, who would take great pride in telling you that, every time you picked her up. :)

Thanks for that Phil, do you remember St Thomas's church the other side Bowersdale Park? and it was very posh.
The money for building the church was put up by William Ewart Gladstone's father, John Gladstone in 1814. He looked to it to provide the kind of evangelical Anglicanism that he favoured. When this eventually turned out not to be the case, he and his family went to worship elsewhere. The building itself survived as a C of E church until 1976. It was demolished in 1990. :wink: :D :D
