Morehead Terrace, Easington (across the Grinkle Lane/Whitby Road junction); this time, consisting of three cottages. Corner Cottage, sold for £460 and wow it had electric light. The next cottage also had electric light, but water was still obtained from the fountain across the road. The last on the terrace (no 1 Morehead Terrace) was the police house; occupied by Constable Clarkson, mains electric lighting but no running water. Michael Leyland updates with: “Morehead Terrace consisted of numbers 1, 2 and 3 on Whitby Road; and 3a, 4, 5, and 6 on Grinkle Lane.” Whilst Deborah Garbutt advises: “My grandparents lived in number 3, my dads aunty lived in number 2.” Whilst Justine enquires: “Was this ever referred to as Fountain Terrace back in 1913?”
