The numbers ran consecutively down one side and then up the other. High Street East started at Sans Street with Number 1 on the south side, then ran east to Barrack Street upto 109? then the numbering continued west on the north side to Russell Street and number 209?. Half numbers were usually a household in the same building, with a separate entrance, as opposed to a tenement where the different households had one entrance. Stan Stan
