It seems from what I have read that these 'Yards' were often crowded and delapidated areas - so not too pleasant to live in. That said, I don't expect that they all were. Christina

Ah, yes Sue and Christina - I think you're right - makes more sense too. I have found that Yards like this are often named after someone who lives there. In this case that person may have moved on. Anne

A couple of pages on it does look a lot more like Welch's Yard

Looks like WELDIS, specially on the next page. Presumably off Old Road, which comes before it. Anne

It is even more clearly Welch's Yard on the next page. Christina
