The Plymouth Brethren Chapel was built at Mr. Robert Howard’s expense.
It has a burial ground on the opposite side of the street. I never
remember seeing more than one tomb stone; it was to the memory of Jane
Johnson, and that has lately been taken away.
There was an old sweet stuff shop in front by the High-road, the floor of
which was below the level of the road. Adjoining here is the block of
houses and shops which are now about being taken down to widen the road
for the electric tramway cars. On the site where Knight’s, the
pawnbrokers, was built, at the corner of Waverley-road, stood the old
George and Vulture Inn. It had a very large room at the back, and the
Royal family used to come down to attend balls there.
