Statement of Interest

No 50 is named St Ann's. Name stone to No 52 no longer legible, although it possibly was also St Ann's. The stone to No 52 is badly weathered. These buildings are of an unusual type for the locality. The Portobello and District Directory, along with the County Directory first mention the occupants of St. Ann's in 1895-6, under the name Robson.
