Perhaps I have the work area. The place I grew up was called Palmers buildings. It was between the Davy Bank and the railway line. They were always houses, I believe for either miners or ship builders.

I lived at 27 Palmers Street until 1965 when I was 7 years old. It had 2 bedrooms upstairs and a kitchen and living room downstairs. We only had cold running water and an outside toilet. As a "bairn" I was washed in the kitchen sink or once a week in a tin bath which was put I front of the coal fire in the living room. It is unbelievable to think that is how we lived but it is all we knew.
