I was only 2 yrs old when we moved!!then we moved on to Pye Bank Close.

 

Jill Fiddes used to babysit for me and my brother Ian & sister Gaynor her brother Martin was Ian's friend.

Hi Rony it must have been your sister that I took for walks. I remember Tommy very well although we never hung around together. Your Mum lived higher up the Street than your Nan.If I remember correctly your Nans house was bigger and set out differently to the other terraced houses on the Street.

Hi Whitehorses I remember Richard they lived in the same yard as Barry and Pam Adams. Think he used to knock around with a lad called Stephen Fiddes who live in the next yard up.Penny.
