The little terrace behind Manning St was called Cliff Terrace and 29 was one of the houses either side of it.SK53-osmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05611497805471433828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082422783692631078.post-41915522339469991532022-01-26T16:07:33.938+00:002022-01-26T16:07:33.938+00:00Hi Shirley,

I was trying to see the house on Google Earth but I noticed that for Manning St only the odd numbered side of the street is there. I wondered if the other side of the street was impacted by the bombing? Can you suggest a place for me to look up this information- if it exists?
