Good to see James marshall the Local Studies Librarian at Hounslow Library coming up trumps again. I looked at all my references and couldn't find the row.

Hello Derek  Glad to see you have found Burdett Row.This is the first time I've seen a familiar name on the forum.  Do you remember the Pinners at 10 Mafeking Avenue?Must be almost 50 years ago !!!  David is in Cornwall, Dianne lives in Calgary,Canada and I am in Townsville, Australia.Best Wishes Pat.

I have found Burdett Row, thanks to Hounslow Library.I quote them:- It was a very small row of six houses behind the High St and off Back Lane now called Albany Rd. It was near King's Arms Alley which still exists as a footpath and is now underneath the garden of a block of flats called Berkeley House.Thank you all for your help.Derek Warnes
