    Typical "Tyneside Flats" with front and rear views in one photo. On the right of the photo the two front doors are together. The right door was for the ground-floor flat. The left door was for the staircase to the upper flat. In Stanley, County Durham some designs had 4 front doors grouped together. In the centre of the photo is the rear view with an open staircase leading to the upper flat. Imagine coming down that staircase in the dark winter to visit the outside toilet. Each small back yard had its own back gate and coal house. There were chimney stacks for the living room and kitchen coal fires.

    Owen O'Malley is in the census in 1901 and 1911 as a grocer and publican. Similarly there are Kelly's next door in both 1901 and 1911 as publican/grocers. So no help there.

    APPARENT ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP MONUMENT. About 2.30 a.m. on Sunday, January 13, the people of Westport were startled by the loud report of an explosion. In the centre of the octagon near the town hall stands a monument 60 ft. high, erected to the memory of George Clendinning (1770-1843), who was a banker, land agent to the Marquis of Sligo, Magistrate, &c. Persons going to early Mass noticed that portion of the granite stone work tapering from the base was displaced, while fragments were strewn around the base to some distance outwards on the pavement. It was evident that an unsuccessful attempt had been made to blow up the monument, but the damage caused is slight.
