Welcome to the group @Lynn. @anniemarr who started this topic in 2019 hasn't logged back into the group since her last comment above on June 4th 2020. If a member registers to receive notifications if any member comments on their posts they will be notified via an email. I don't know if 'anniemar' has registered but I have attempted to notify her by preceding her login Id with an ampersand and that triggers off a notification.

@Linray & @lynnewatson unfortunately there has only been a very small amount of info on the Old factory posted on this group. You would require access, that I don't have, to the 1911 & 1921 national census records to check out the house/flat numbers and the names of those who lived there.

I see affordable housing as a two bedroomed terraced house where the mortgage, normally around £100,000, would be cheaper than the cost of renting a similar property. So in todays market a first time buyer would have to have a £5,000 deposit + solicitors fees etc. to buy an affordable house.
