The Cottages at No 3 Primrose Hill (now demolished)

Primrose Hill

The old cottages at No 3 Primrose Hill - the occupants were the Dunn family, the Sterry family and the Prosser Family.
The Prosser family lived in the detached cottage on the right and you can probably just make out Mrs Prosser in the picture. The Sterries lived in the semi on the left and later this became occupied by the Vernon family.

Thanks to Peter Essex who added (March 2007): "I commented on the photograph of William Sterry at 31 Tutnalls Street, but this has brought back another distant memory. As I indicated, my father's mother was a Sterry from Lydney and I have a very vague recollection that some of the family lived at Primrose Hill. Another address I recall (when my grandmother, Frances Sterry, had become Mrs Essex) is 23 Allastone Road. I have also recalled that her sister Ivy lived in Albert Street, I think number 29, with members of the Beard family including Harold, his wife Flo and their son Peter. Another address that has come back to my mind is 3 Fairfield Road, which I think was near the rugby ground and gas works, occupied by George and Hilda (earlyish 1950s) but I am unsure of their surname".

Peter added (August 2009): "... George and Hilda's surname was Virgo. Hilda was nee Sterrey (sic)".
