Looked at thread thanks. Guess the kids from West Chevington must have walked to the school that way. Looking at the old map of 1865 it looks like the nearest miners houses to Red Row were at South Broomhill.
I can just remember visiting my granny there early 1950s as they were being demolished. Her mother Catherine Smith lived at Radcliffe and I think she was killed when she was hit by a door blown in the wind
