Welcome to Rootschat Weebird 

Tyrells Buildings originally housed the guards from Windsor whilst their new barracks were built.  It became known as "The Barracks" and was situated where the new Sainsbury building is being built now.  I think it was very poor quality housing and not a good place to live.  I'm not sure of the time scale but I think a lot of families were rehoused into Garden Cotts and Norfolk Park from there.  Not sure about that.

Welcome to Roots Chat weebird where and when were your BIRDs in Warwick? I have a flock in Birmingham 1816-1870. Have you put your names on the surname interests list yet?
