neilf   10 #5 Posted March 7, 2011 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.
