Hi, A bit late to this but thought I would reply, reading it has brought back many memories of life around the Moorfoot in the 60 and 70's.
I am craig dewsnap, along with Mum (Doreen/Dot) and dad (Ron) sisters Elaine, Susan, brothers Ronnie, Keith and Andrew we lived in 44 Michael Rd, around the corner from Clarence st and actually in the next yard to the Bujko's.
Mr and Mrs Bujkco (I cant call them Victor and Evlyn !) were indeed the nicest of people, we were big friends with their son's David and Mark. Evelyn regularly used to walk their dog up to Endliffe Park and back down frog walk with a gang of local kids in tow.
Our house in Michael rd was a 2 up, 2 down terrace with one cold tap in the corner of the kitchen and an outside loo in the yard. Newspaper served as toilet paper and if you were posh it would be cut into squares and hung on a nail (we weren't posh). It was only the late 60's but my kids think I'm talking about another planet from a million years ago.
The Moorfoot then was like the biggest kids adventure playground ever, slum clearance, building the Hanover and Broomhall flats, building the power station, Santa's Grotto, the Tyre Dump, scrompin - we got ourselves into all kinds of trouble and its a wonder that there no serious injuries. Not really bad kids, just an adventurous and mischievous gang that made their own entertainment. I remember sitting on the step outside Pikes corner shop one Sunday afternoon, leaning back and the door opening, they'd forgotton to lock it. Did we raid it for sweets - no, we told Mrs Bujko and she phoned them to come back and lock up.
A few darker memories mixed in of life back then, but mostly happy thoughts !
