My father used to live in no.1 Forres Avenue and he told me today that his father, John Alan Purvis, was the first person to move into the street when the properties were built and he therefore was asked to name the road. He chose to name it Forres after a place in Scotland where he used to live.

Downalong

In the late 1950/early 1960s, there was a large house on this site called Downalong that was owned by the Bellman family. I believe Mr Bellman was a political speech writer.
