When my grandparents married in the late 20's Candow Street was listed as both of thems address, although they lived a different numbers, I always wondered where it was.

As you found out the correct name was Candow Street, beer off on one corner and Miriam's on the other. I remember as a child going to the beer off for vineger it was sold from the barrel you had to take your own jam jar. Yes Ardmore Street was hit by bombs during December 1940, the reason I know was that my Grandparents lived at number 11 the story from the family goes that after the dust had settled the only things standing were a glass vase on the mantlepiece and the christmas tree including the glass baubles. some of which I hang on my tree to this day.All the houses down from the Fox House Pub to no.11 were flattened.Next to no.11 was a passage which proberbly saved the other houses from going up. They then started at 13 myself I lived with my parents and brother at no.15.Ardmore Street was still standing a few years ago but alas Candow Street had gone
