The street numbers have changed over the years

We are grateful to John Davies for all the work he has done on the numbering of the heritage end of the street, which has changed over the years. He has constructed the table below to help identify which numbers the dwellings at the heritage end of the street houses once had.

  1. Researching family history. William George Holt was recorded in 1911 Kelly’s Directory at 44 Westgate. He ran a building company with his brother. Shot his wife and himself in December 1931 (see Chichester Observer 9 December 1931) in Stockbridge Road. Hoping to find pictures of the business in Westgate.
