A reasonable amount of information from the library website. Only two entries on Papers Past and they were ads for selling houses. I was very surprised to realise that there is still a house on this street but it is in a very bad state and the garage next to it has obviously had a fire. I checked street view and the house was looking OK in February 2022 and probably was still being lived in. There were two news articles that I found about the owner of the house and he had no intention of moving from the house. One article was dated 2014 and the other article was dated February 2021. Sounds like he was a bit of a character. I didn’t find a death notice for him.
