I am not sure if 38 Avon Street is still there,but most of it has gone. My mothers family were from there, a lot of the people were move to the suburbs before ww2.
I believe this was part of social engineering known as slum clearance. Most of the poeple that lived in the lower end of Avon Street work as street traders and hawkers from the early 1900 onwards. My grandfather had a business in the next street Milk Street in the 50 and 60's. hope this helps some.
