Hi everyone, I lived @ 39 Burgher street, and I was wondering about the open entrance, tunnel thingy, on Dechmont street (directly at the bottom of Burgher street) which lead to steps, leading up to a door. I remember as a kid playing around the step area, what was this, was this a house or a business? Any thoughts...........Nostalgia central Paul.
