: Sorry, there never was a #194
: Darlington Rd in West Auckland. I
: had the good fortune to be born at 1
: Darlington Road at the north end of
: the street in 1932, but before WWII
: started the family moved to 46
: Darlington Rd at the southern end
: (literally). 46 still stands but the
: rest of the original street has
: gone. There are 'new' houses on the
: opposite side of the road now, but
: how these were numbered and if they
: retain the Darlington Rd name I
: would not know.
: There are many 'Darlington Road's in
: other local villages, and even a
: 'West Auckland Road' in Darlington;
: the latter might well go up to #194.
: Who are these Canadians with
: possible roots in West Auckland?
: With regard to #31 Darlington Road,
: the still redoubtable West Auckland
: figure of Arthur Towers was born
: there or thereabouts. Someone should
: tap his memory.
