Why "Kitson Row" ?

Do you know whereabouts in Farnhill Kitson Row is ?

Well, its the colloquial name given to the row of 10 or so cottages that run down Main Street from the junction with Grange Road. Quite a few of the older Farnhillers know this name and continue to use it.

But how did the houses get this name ? An old newspaper article donated to our archive (source and date not known, but we think from around 1975) tells the story.
