Yes, Sally, you were so right...there is lots to interest me here, in your most recent posts. Many of them are familiar, including the 2 in Dowling St, as our street, Horsell Ave, runs off Dowling St opposite no 9. I spent a lot of time in no 5, as i knew the family who lived there, Mr and Mrs Hull.They had 2 daughters Lesley and Jean, who my mum knew very well.Lesley had 2 daughters, Pam and Jeanette...you may even know Pam, as she was very active in Federation. Oh , she was Pam Gregg but I think she later married. When Jeanette married "Danny" Daniels, they lived there for many years, but i know the place has been sold.
No.9 was owned by the Maxwell family, and was for many years an absolute tip of a place.
I've left a comment on Teluba, and will ask Mum if she can remember anything.

The photos are wonderful as always Sally. Just a note about the Dowling Street shots. The one you have labelled as 5 Dowling Street is in fact 1 Dowling Street (which has had a first floor extension and doesn't look like this anymore). I know this as I live in #5. #5 and #9 are next door to each other as #9 is on a double block.
