What's the story behind the house on Green Leach Lane (opposite the Grasmere Ave junction) that's been boarded up for ages?

Eddie, my missus moved to Langdale Grove as a teenager. At the time, she had her address as Haresfinch. Now, she reckons she came from Green Leach, and we have friendly arguments about it, as she feels Green Leach is posher. Can you tell me, is Langdale Grove in Green Leach or Haresfinch?

Eddie



My dad had an Aunt and Uncle Named Esmond. Their daughters were school teachers. They lived near the Catholic Church in Hurstfinch. I am talking about the 1940's. Did you know them by any chance.
