My grandmother's grandparents, George & Dorothy Birks, lived at Townsyard, Fernhill (no idea of the street name).
George Birks was the superintendant for the Bury Cleansing Department and a municipal horse keeper.
Does anyone know where Townsyard is/was? I think the whole street may have been demolished.

Thanks
