The Courtyard on the corner of Daubney Street and Grimsby Road - Next door to Liondale Villa stood The Gables a large house with outbuildings that included stables and an open cobbled courtyard reached well into and beyond the Daubney Street corner. Later The Gables became part of DB Ramsdens Cash and Carry, before it and the Liondale Villa were both (very sadly) demolished to make for the Courtyard Apartment block of flats.
