That would be right - who is that?
Did you look back on this thread about Clively Bank House and the 1907 map?
A website that might interest you is kersalflats.co.uk - there is loads of local stuff on there. Run by an old Clifton lad.

@treblewinner. I have a copy of the 1907 area map. I can send you a copy if you email me. Don't know if this forum supports private messaging?

@treblewinner. I lived on Copeland from 1972 to 1996. No 6. Our back wall was part of the boundary wall. If you look through earlier on this thread there is an old map which clearly shows the boundary wall of the old house. You can see that the boundary is almost exact shape of Copeland.

I've got to the bottom of this - It wasn't Pepper Hall it was Clively Bank House. It's on the 1907 ordnance map. The old boundary wall to the south is still there and forms the boundary of what is now Copeland Avenue. I grew up on Copeland (6) and looking at the map it's obvious that the council used the old driveway layout of the house to form the layout of the street. I can remember when they used to resurface the road it was stripped back to cobbles before they lay tarmac - given that the council housing was 'modern' there wouldn't have been cobbled street so I assume the old house had a cobbled drive. The footpaths to the south and east are clearly visible on the map and these are the rights of way that remain - although they are now so overgrown they are not accessable. Pepper Hill is to the north and this is where I got confused as to the name. The bridge over the railway at Clifton Junction is called Pepper Hill Bridge. Thanks to Walli from another thread that uncovered the answer!

That is absolutely fantastic! Thanks. It's the nearest I've got to finding anything definite out. Living 300 miles away makes investigation a bit difficult. Who was your friend that lived on Copeland? I lived there from 1972 until 1996. My parents only sold up a year ago.
