hotrock Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 We Have lived on Dagnam Road for about 10 years, and i am very interested in the social history of the area that i now call home. Up to now i have spoken to a few people who have told me that the house that i live in has had 2 people pass away, 1 in the living room, & 1 in the bedroom. I have also managed to speak to one of the original builders of the property that i now reside, who was shocked to see that very little had been done to the property that was built in 1936, only in the last year or so has any refurbishment work been carried out. Personally i love the place, with newer families moving in all the time i wondered if people had an interest as to the people who may have lived there previously, & will there be any skeletons unearthed in the old cupboards.

hillsbro Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi hotrock - well, I hope you don't find any skeletons but in case it's of interest, here is a scan from the Kelly's directory for 1942 showing who lived on Dagnam Road then. Some of your older neighbours might remember a few names. I have a few more directories etc. - if you PM me your address I'll see if I can unearth anything about previous occupants.

selphie Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I lived at number 84 and the previous tenant died there. She was an old lady. I swear she was haunting it. I used to wake up to loud bangs in the night. It was about 9 years ago I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest makapaka Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 My nan and grandad have lived on edenhall for 40 odd years.

It is getting better, due to CCTV going up on the gennels, but it was likened to Beirut not so long ago, delivery vans refused to go there due to thefts, many of the money lenders IE provident, refused to go anywhere near it.
