site of a car park.  Nos. 284 to 292 all had to be demolished and post war

opposite Grafton Street are still there.  Three properties on the other
side of Oxford Road opposite No. 284 also had to be demolished due to this
incident and the Methodist Church next to them was damaged, as was a hotel
on the other side Ducie Street.
