Something I found on the internet which gives some idea of what these properties were like. Crooks Place was at the top of what we now known as St Stephens the other side of Chaplefield Road behind the Multi York Store.
'The houses in Crooks Place were two up two down Georgian slums off Nicholas Street, in the “new city” but better known as Crooks Place. This area suffered extensively from bombing in the Second World War although, luckily, people living at the St. Stephens Square end of the street escaped damage. The houses was in a poor enough state without the the bombing, they were riddled with mice. These poor creatures must have been terrified by the explosions because we could hear them racing up and down the walls behind the crumbling lath and plaster. Indeed my Mum was more terrified of those mice than she was of the Luftwaffe and they scared her enough. The stairs rose at a dizzyingly vertical angle and had very narrow treads. the backyard had communal facilities'.
I have found some mention that children went to school in Crooks Place, an infants school which had a fish pond as well as Bignold School. There are also other stories that when these properties were demolished the families were moved to Mile Cross or The Larkman. Many families had to spend the first night in their new home without their furniture as it had to be fumigated.
