Yes I did. Sorry I didn't get back to you...
My family were at No 26 which is still there. 24 has gone and looks luke some kind of garage/car rental place.
Type the address into google earth. The open space above the railway line would have been where 24 was. The preservation document quoted above gives a good description of the place. No hospital in sight so he would have died at home - or that of someone elses.
Why do you not think he was living here? Remember it was just after the war and many people were not where you might have expected them to be. I have found relatives in the most unexpected places! Do you have any other evidence to suggest he should be living elsewhere?
Why do you think he should have died in hospital? If you think he might have been ill enough to have been in hospital, you could write to the hospital archives c/o The Mitchell Library to see if they have any information.
Hope this has been helpful,
