Thank you for posting the video of the row houses. In my efforts to track my family's roots in Europe, I was able to identify from the 1911 Census that my grandfather, aged 6 at the time, was living in row house No. 3 with his parents. His father was listed as a crane operator in Bardon quarry. Later that same year, they emigrated to Canada - where I live. While watching the clip, I noticed with much delight that No. 3 row house is shown at around 5:40 minutes -- great to see a view of the entry to my grandfather's original home!
