Thank you Jim. My son was asking about his aunt who lived there but couldn't place where it was. I'll show him when he comes over

Just looking in old Kelly's directories, Walter White is given as the householder of 249 Penistone Road in directories up to that of 1925. The directories for 1931 to 1940 have Arthur White there. This is confirmed by the "1939 Register" (prepared on the outbreak of war) which has Arthur and Mabel White living there. Here is a copy of the relevant parts of the page.
