The Matriarch of the Turner family lived behind the shop, and in the yard where the ice cream factory was.

Some of the younger Turners lived on Station Rd, Young Howard, and his son Howard lived on there (at the side of scrappy Walkers yard.

Old Howard lived in the bungalow which was at the right hand side of the "little hill". The one with a lane to the left of it. I believe that the bloke who owned the shop at the bottom of Cadman St now lives in it (Ken Hopkins)

Lol Turner, the other one involved in the ice cream business lived almost opposite the bottom of Westfield Crescent, in the top one of those houses that are white fronted, with metal gates.
