Where Was ' Fireball Alley ' In Toddington??

[Ezekial]

Hi
 While looking at the 1911 Toddington census my old nan and her first husband were living in (or down) 'Fireball Alley ', i've asked my mum who still lives in Toddington if she ever remembers this place but she can't place it, i was wondering if anyone out there might know whereabouts in Todd 'Fireball Alley ' was.

Kind Regards

I just found similar in a census search on Ancestry for a relative for my ancestor Samuel Briden. After a little web searching I was able to piece together this comment: There are a few strange names that occur in various peoples' censuses in Toddington, including "Fireball Alley", where Samuel was resident in 1911. In a previous census he was resident at a cottage between the pub and the butcher's shop, and another at Pond Head. According to an old pamphlet in favour of housing reform "The cottage question. 1 Evidence showing the need of reform., 1897": "E'en worse, if possible, are some hovels in Pond Head and Fireball Alley, Toddington , as these have no back way, and the so-called privies are literally in the street." http://www.jstor.org/stable/60215431

Hope this helps someone one day - my first post
