To me, a terrace is a flat spot carved into a hill.
I haven't a clue how it would figure into an address.

Thanks,

It's that too... But in house terms it's a row all stuck together, side
by side. Might be in blocks of 4 like ours (we have a 'mid terrace' -
no side or back access) or whole streets of 50 or more all built in a
row with only a wall between each house.

Let me see...

Gardens or back yards

The houses are all joined up. In our case, we have front and rear
gardens but no official access to the rear except through the house.

Semi-detached means the houses are in pairs, and detached means they
don't actually touch the neighbouring houses.

(the name of our street is also a town in South Texas, so I always
taught our girls to say they lived on "town name _Drive_")

Hehehe! Round here quite a few villages have a main street just called
called The Street! Our village has a population of 650 people.

Janet, My DH's DGP lived on a street in New York named Wexford Terrace. It
is quite common for that to be used in an addy there. When I first moved
out of NY I had never seen an addy like RR#3 Box 6. Learn something new
all the time! :-)

Lol- and I had to move TO NY to get an addy with RR#5 Box 73....

Of course, that's the boonies of NY. Prior to that, I'd lived on base
housing or suburbia.

NY- it's not just one town.

Didja have to lick your lips first? You got my cheeks all wet! (that's what
my kids always say as they wipe their cheeks. LOL)

I've been asked when I'm going to update the directory...well, why not
now?

Deadline is October 15th to get your info to me. This time we're trying
something different. Alice has set up a form for everyone to fill out.
The
info will be mailed to me when you hit the submit button. Isn't she
great?
Instructions are on the website below. As always, if you know someone
who
is
usually on the newsgroup but is not reading right now, let them know
it's
time to update.

My problem is that I work evenings, Most of the questions have been answered
by the time I read the days postings. Not that I have alot of answers as I
am still quite the newbie quilter, LOL! I also don't feel the need to do
the "me too" posts.

I had to chuckle at this (kindly - and at myself)
The last couple of days, there have been a few posts I have wanted to
reply to straight away - so I did. *Then* I read on in the thread and
found that my sentiments had already been expressed. So, I know what
you mean Diane. With the time difference, I read mine first thing in
the morning which is night time in the US, so it is a parallel
situation.
Never mind, though. One of these days there will be that little gem
that only you will know and can pass on.

Thank you, LN and Alice, we appreciate your hard work. Note: Thanks,
too, for letting me know one word should be in "Yum #1". I had to change
the wording to 'floralsonblack." 8^) Nancycog in MD




Yup!

Here in the UK the address works for me like this:

Person name
House number and terrace name
Road/street
Village
Postal Town
County
Post code
Country

This is the order I entered it, so it should work. We live in an isolated
terrace on a country lane outside the village away from town! Town isn't
far, but there are fields of sheep, orchards full of fruit trees, and
woodland between us and it.

Terrace is a really common "street name" here in the UK. Originally a
terrace would be lots of small houses all built together in a long line, so
you share walls with your neighbours. Nowadays it doesn't really mean that,
it's just a name, like street, avenue, crescent, gardens, close etc etc etc.

Um, Kate,

Can you define "terrace" as you are using it?

To me, a terrace is a flat spot carved into a hill.
I haven't a clue how it would figure into an address.

Thanks,

I'll jump in here and say - That's what we call a row home.
I lived in one in Philadelphia back in the 40's and 50's.

I'll jump in and say that just across a few rivers from you, in
NYC, what you call row houses are called attached houses. So,
even 'over here' we have a few different names.
In both NY and VA, I've seen the word Terrace used in place of
Street or Drive. Just a developer's whim, not an architectural style.
