This chapter is four pages long and looks at Norfolk Street, the date 26 March 1981 is given in the page title.
The Norfolk Street pages contain some interesting snippets and interviews with residents current at that time, but, personally, it was a little shorter than I'd have liked as I had relatives there. Martha Ann Maltby was my great-grandmother's sister and I know my own mother visited the Maltbys of Norfolk Street regularly. They got just one mention, that "the Maltby brothers" lived in a particular house!

Miss Enid Porter; Mr & Mrs Ulla Printz-Pahlson; Mrs Florence Harben; Terrence Whitehead; Frank Whitehead; Goodes; Maltby brothers; Mr & Mrs GB Taylor; Rev S Sims; Mr Haynes; Richard Frost, Peter Frost; Miss Iris Franklin; Roy Townsend; Mrs Ada Warwick; Frank Wilson; Mr RB Speechley; Richard Bridgeman, Walter Bridgeman; Mike Smith (of TV furniture show), Jill Smith; Richard Frost; Gordon Ison.
