Hi,

In particular, if it is still there, a 9 Appleby St.?

Hi Dennis

Appleby Street certainly still exists, just a stones throw away from the Firpark Football ground on the other side of the canal. I can't say whether No 9 still exists in its original form.
There are still lots of red and grey sandstone tenements in the area but it's off the main road so it would need someone from the area to confirm whether the old buildings are still there.
