Horafield Street Middlesbrough

As the church was consecrated in 1865 I think it is fairly safe to assume that this was the general timescale in which the street was first built. Does the church have its own graveyard?
Your next move is to look at the electoral registers for the street from 1950 onwards, they will be available in the local reference library. When the population in the street begins to fall that is usually when the redevelopment has begun. When the population falls to a low figure, usually less than 20 then the development is complete, the residual population consisting of live-in caretakers, pub landlords etc., and of course in this case mostly likely a clergyman at the church.

Hopefully you moved out before the local public baths closed!

Thanks everyone for their help. The mention of the local baths reminds me of my home town. I got married moved to Germany for a year and came back to find the local swimming baths my dad had worked at GONE. It wasn't cost effective apparently. I was devastated. That was also in the 70's

An earlier attempt to prop up a failed economic system by cutting services! Do we never learn?
