    Cool SMITH Family

    Don't panic! I know who they are and where. FMP have them at Clive House, Alnwick Urban in 1939 but exactly where is it? FMP have it as being in Fenkle St, somewhere near the Penny Black (a cafe bar & restaurant) I can't see anything marked as Clive House on G*Maps Street View nor on OS on NLS.

    I'd be grateful if someone could pinpoint it for me. Thanks

    Regards,
    Malcolm.

    Hello Malcolm,

    According to this site, it was on Clayport St.

    Thanks Alma. Sadly I'm none the wiser. Tried G*maps Street View but couldn't get near it, the listed buildings site has it at the back of Clive Gardens but they are all modern build.

    I'll find it eventually.

    Regards,
    Malcolm.

    Found a picture of Clive House Here but I'm no nearer pin-pointing its exact location.

    Not sure if it is the house, but it looks similar, so try this -
    google maps, type in Clayport Street Alnwick

    You get the 'bar' thingy at the left-hand side, and on the map itself there's a red circle with a black dot in it.
    Follow the B6341 left, to where the road number is next written, and there's a little 'loop' off the road.

    Enlarge the map, and then go to street view, putting the man on the main road, not the loop.
    Then move along the road until you are just to the right of a seat.
    Is that the house, behind the wall?
    If you look through the gap between it and the house to the right you can see some modern buildings. Those in Clive Gardens?

    I think you've found it, Pam. Yay, well done

    Unsure if this link will take you straight to it, Malcolm, but I'll give it a go.
