Hi Alan, and from me apologies for not being in touch sooner. Would it be possible to message you?

This may be a long shot, but does anyone have any information about an area of Wessington that used to be called 'Bedlam Yard'? It's not there now, having been overbuilt years ago I guess.
A number of my FLINT ancestors used to live there, and having seen various Census descriptions of their occupations and status, it is perhaps justified to say that Bedlam Yard's residents were not the wealthiest folks around.
I would be grateful for any information on this area, and I guess photographs may be too much to hope for, but finding someone who knows more about Bedlam Yard than me would be encouraging.
Your hopefully,
Alan
