The smallpox house
When I was a lad back in the 1950s, this house, at 733, Blackburn Road, was called the smallpox house and the story was that a resident of the house had contracted the disease and so all residents were quarantined within. Despite researching the story I have not been able to verify the truth of the legend. The house is Grade 2 listed.
