A few more street caretakers have joined the group and are enjoying learning about Helsmdale's streets and past inhabitants.
Maggie Codd, a resident of Dunrobin Street, is joining forces with Lisa McDonald, to uncover information about the houses in Dunrobin Street. They are undertaking research on both sides of the street and this will involve locating the houses with numbers, as well as some of the older houses that were demolished in the past. It has already become evident that there is a gap in the house numbering sequence from around number 33 to number 61. The older OS maps clearly show that there were houses in this area, which have been knocked down in the past. The postal addresses can have house numbers or names, which can make it quite difficult to retrace the past occupants.
