Hi Carol, I was just reading your post and noticed your brother knew Kenneth Stanley. I'm doing my family tree and found that Kenneth signed Fanny Stanleys death certificate - she was my great grandmother. I didn't know that my grandmother had a younger brother until my certificate arrived today. Would you please pass my email address ([email protected]) on to Kenneth or his family as I would dearly love to find more about our family history. Thank you soooo much. Kirsten x

I grew up on the flower estate and it did get really rough and tough in the late 70's and 80's. According to my parents (my mom lived on there from being a child) the estate was a nice place to live with a good community spirit until the slum clearances of the late 60's and 70's came along. This brought in a lot of problem families which were normally large in numbers. In my time there, I saw the place really deteriorate with certain families interbreeding and causing grief for the others. There were, however, quite a number of decent folk living on the 'flower' and people do tend to overlook this when scrutinising similar estates. Having said that, it was a joyous occasion when I eventually uprooted and left the decay.

If you want to pm me I can let you know a bit more, I think it's a little insensitive to bandy names around on a forum.
