Derry (Londonderry) / Re: ASHCROFT PLACE, Waterside

Hi Alwyn,
             Margymore kindly sent over a few photographs, but only one was of the street. It sadly shows the half the houses ( 4 of 8 ) demolished. In fact I would like to know from the photograph what the house number was at the end of the terrace (1 or 8 ). Send me a p.m with your email and I'll post it over tomorrow ......Best

Hi Val.(margymore),
                            Many thanks for your P.M. and will be looking into the leads I received from you. Alas no pictures, maybe the photographs might need to be re-sized when you scan them, a lot of forums will only except a certain size of picture (MB) for uploading. anyway thanks for taking the time to write and making Ashcroft place clearer for everyone, that's the beauty of the internet!

Hi,
    Doreen got back to me with some details together with a old street plan. From what I can make out together with Google street view, Ashcroft place was at 13(approx.), old strabane road behind ANNES BAR and Herbert street was between NIPPY TAXI'S and KIERA'S CHIPPY at 21(approx.) ,old strabane road. This information is for anyone in the future who might be inquiring, this is my best guess so don't take this as verbatim. Still looking for a photograph which I know is a long shot for my sister and mum( she is 96 and still going strong)...........Cheers!

Derry (Londonderry) / ASHCROFT PLACE, Waterside

Hi, Trying to trace Ashcroft Place, nearest I've got so far, is that it was of Strabane old road. Sounds like the area was trashed for new builds in the 60s/70s like most of U.K. The reason I ask is that my eldest sister was born there when my Mother & Father resided in Derry for a year at the start of WW2.
(Dad was escorting convoys across the Atlantic).
  It would be nice (1) To plot the site on a Google map with the co-ordinates, and (2) Obtain/purchase a photograph of the cottages (8-10? I believe from the census) somewhere if possible.Thank you.
