What a shame,What an interesting place with all the characters that live in that area,Watery Lane, Meadow Street,St Philips Road,Hammond Street,Upperthorpe,Wentworth Street,Burlington Street, The Tip,Bellfield Street,Fawsett Street.What a great childhood we had growing up in that area no money but we still enjoyed ourselves more than the kids these days could ever imagine.
