: This is a repeat of an unsolved query
: I made on this page years ago. Where
: or what was 'Tile Shead House'
: (sic), West Auckland. According to
: the his birth certificate my
: grandfather Thomas Clarke was born
: there in 1876. In my recall he lived
: in Chapel Street and Darlington Road
: most of his life, but where was this
: building? There was a disused brick
: structure to the NW of the bridge
: over Oakley Beck that might have
: merited the title of 'SHED'
: (official documents are not immune
: to misspellings), but unless 'he lay
: in a manger' I doubt if that was it.
: Where else then?
