I lived on this street from 1945 until 1949, but the terraced house I lived in was demolished a long time ago, the reason why I may never know. It was demolished along with five other houses. As the houses were built at the top of the street and just above bedrock I'm tending to rule out subsidence, so it may have been due to a fire spreading through the roof spaces. Below is a glimpse of the former Crookes Congregational Church - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1175483
