When we travel to my daughters house in Lancashire we pass through Halifax where there are loads of back to back houses which are still occupied and are not classed as slums. These houses home two families, one occupying the front of the house and another in the back of the house they are completely separate to each other, they each have their own door on their own side of the house and hang out their washing across the road.These houses are mostly 3 storey houses and either have a tiny garden or a door that opens directly on to the road.

When we all left Grimesthorpe I moved into the new flats on Lopham St,Stanleys went to Earldom Drive don't know about Woodliffes I thought they went to Firth Park.Terry and Ann went to Earldom Close.Val Stanley and Ann were sisters.It was later that Stanleys moved up Fox St area into the upside down houses we were best mates.
