Hi Paul,Yes it was a terraced street 2up2down No 12 was in the middle with an entry or jigger along side,i know that the man living in the house before us(not sure when)had gassed himself in the oven,and he used to keep a donkey in the yard,the oven in the house was circa 1930 so possibly the one but we still had to use it as nobody had money for new in those days we always thought the house was haunted.There is a picture on the Garston society site that shows arial view of garston docks showing the rows of terraces including Thomas st,  the rows on the left.        cheers John.  PS if you go on the yoliverpool site look for under the bridge there are some images on there

Hi, Frank what a coincidence,i lived in 12 Thomas street from 1956/61 until i was 14,i have many memories ,i was only telling my grandkids the other day how lucky they are to be living in a nice warm house without the rustle of thousand of cockroaches,but i wouldn't change my childhood for theirs they don't seem to play out anymore,what a waste,i now live in North Wales but still go back home now and then to sit on the shore and reflect John
