Agents Notes
This property is first shown as occupied in 1903 (although it is likely that the house was previously shown as a different number) by Henry Swift (fireman). Mr Swift was not the only fireman on the road - others lived at Nos 6, 13, 38, 39 and 48 - but this does not mean this road was a haven for the fire brigade. Fireman (or stoker) is the job title for someone whose job is to tend the fire for the running of a steam engine. On steam locomotives the term fireman is usually used, while on steamships and stationary steam engines, such as those driving saw mills, the term is usually stoker (although the British Merchant Navy did use fireman).
