The Edwardian semi on the left was one of the first houses to be built at this end of Manvers Road. My grandparents, the first occupants, moved in to No 7 (with the white slate-roofed bay window) in 1906 with their newly-born son and celebrated their golden wedding there in 1955. My mother and her two sisters were born in the front bedroom. The nice symmetry of Lonsdale Villas has been violated by the removal of the bay from No 5, alas. What would Mrs Jennings have said?
