The Danville Street area, circa 1965 consisted of; going up the hill left side, from Grimesthorpe Road- Star Inn, Cantley Place. Letwell Place (Gumby's) & Rayton Place. Danville Mount ran parallel to Danville Street and faced the 'rec'.

On right going up; Balby Place, Danville Terrace and Sun Street (boy's lower entrance to Burngreave School, which I attended)
