| The shop at the corner of Montpelier Road and Claude Street. In the distance are some of the Beeston Road properties. Whether the wildlife shown in this photograph were regular visitors to this part of Dunkirk is not known. |
| It may take some believing but this is what the property in the previous photograph looks like today (July 2005). It has been converted into two separate businesses with the Dunkirk Chippy housed in the portion on the right. When the photograph was taken the premises on the left were unoccupied. |

Ken Beckhaus who lives
in Australia got in touch with us asking if we had a photograph
of No. 39 Claude Street as his mother, Gwen Beckhaus (nee Atkinson)
was born there in 1951 and it remained her family home until
1964. We didn't but happy to oblige took these shots in
January 2007. The centre view is the house in question
while the shots either side feature No.39 plus others on
that side of the street. Gwen was suitably grateful to
receive her own copies of these photographs.
