1903 building in Red Row

[Coquet]

A question for the southerners.
Spotted this one on rightmove. What was that originally? Looks like it's converted from commercial property?

It was the Red Row CO OP, the "Store", up until the 80's or so. Also contained the managers house.

I should be able to remember that building it but it's gone from my memory unfortunately.

Now who has a photo of that side of the street?

Just picked up a 1st World War medal to a recipient from along that way. William Kinghorn, a steamroller driver in a Road Construction Company of the Royal Engineers. Lived 38 Swarland Terrace.
One of my ancestors, Anthony Richardson, also live there, No. 2 Swarland Terrace, and served in the Labour Corps in WW1.

On the subject of Swarland Terrace, a good number of houses were demolished there? am I correct?

here's the maps:

So Swarland Terrace 'West' got part demolished?

William Kinghorn is on the Absent Voters List. I've just counted the number of men on the AVL from Swarland Terrace. By my reckoning there are 40. So many men from a small street, shows the impact of the war on communities.

And the total number will be higher again with casualties and men discharged before the AVL
