Lived on Portland Walk opposite chinese chippy between 86-88. Used to wheel my motor bike from boiler house end which was ground level to my flat. Couldn't leave it in car park overnight as it certainly would have "walked". Had a plastic pig Reliant Regal 3 wheeler at the time and used to park it elsewhere as the few times I left it in the car park it was used as target practice by the bombers above on Woolen and Edith.

i lived on kelvin street in mid fifties. my best friend was margaret gold, she lived at the top of the hill, the first time i ever watched television was at hers, andy pandy and bill and ben!!!!! We were bridesmaids at her {i think} cousins wedding, i would love to see a photo of us at that.

Hope there is someone else out there that remembers the old street. The cobbled road, the lady who made toffee and sold it from her front door, the rag and bone man, the coal man throwing those big sacks of coal down the grate! My mother also used to go to the wash house, the towels used to be like sandpaper, i used to say they were "rusty". We used to go to Mrs Clark's sweetshop, she was a lovely lady.

I clicked onto your link to Photobucket to see your pictures but was invaded by loads of spam phone adverts which I could not get rid of to see your pictures.

Hemmings family Gary, Stewart,Brian and the girls who lived between Kenyons garage and Justices factory just in front of the milk yard.
