In the 1870s, Thomas Hattersley (one of the founders of the Queens Foundry on White Lee Road) arranged for Greno House to be built on Fitzwilliam Street. Greno House was still occupied by the Hattersley family as late as the 1950s. Circa 2000, Greno House was demolished to make way for a new block of apartments.

Have you a picture of the original house? Friends lived there when I was little and was looking for one.

I am the daughter of Hope Metszies (Hattersley) who grew up in Greno House. My mum and the family (her parents Marshall and Vera and her sister Ruth and brother Martin) emigrated to Canada in 1952. Her brother Robert stayed in the UK. Were any of these family members your friend?
