Hi George, Can you remember a Pauline Goodwin that live in

bottom yard in Moss St opposite where you lived near butchers.

The first yard behind Co' Op and i think she lived at top house. Brian.

 

Hi Brian, I didn't live on Moss Street, Sandra my wife lived there, I asked her about Pauline Goodwin, she doesn't know the name, but she will ask her sister Susan when she sees her.

Well we had further to walk than you Bri,we had to use the toilets in the yard.Apparently many moons ago our house,the shop and your house was a pub.Never knew if it was right or not.Can you recall Mrs Beaver next door to you her back door came into the yard but her front door was on Moss st.But your right we only had one door.
