Hi. Iv been trying to find out about the above address. I have googled it and mainly find Hans Place. I wonder if anyone here knows this address and wether Hans Mansions still exist?

Thanks

Thank you for your info, made very interesting reading. On my research it said Hans Mansions was a tenement which confused me, as I had an imagine of Victorian slums in mind!

I did google Hans Mansions but couldn’t find anything! Il give it another go

Thanks
