yes, I know the area has changed since then - although many of the streets remain the same - Westwood Street has long since gone though, I think to make way for Bourges Boulevard. He lived from 1831 to 1913. Walpole Street was one of them where he owned a lot of houses - his last house was only sold 10 years ago!
My grandfather went to Deacons (but he would have been well before your time) and my mother went to the County School and worked briefly at Perkins Engines, but I went to school in Stamford. The Itters (of the brickworks and Itter Park) are also relations.
