Morton Street ran north to south from Grey Street to Lime Grove. On its way it crossed: Ducie St., Marlow St., Cobden St., Florence St., Holt St., Edlin St., Earnest St., Richmond Grove, Bent St., Park Avenue, Bertha St. and Norbury St. It was know locally as "The Concrete" since, when most of the other streets were cobbled, it had a smooth concrete surface. As such it was perfect for roller skating, bike riding and bogey races. Morton Street Views
