Lily swanstone was a widow, she was Barry Swanstone's mother living nearly opposite number 24 but I do not know the house number.

My mates at no 22 lofthouse rd, they backed on to bassetts, (john-david-ian mclean) the out side loo, backed onto bassetts wall, at the other side of this wall was some Prefabricated Buildings which had netting around them, i remember if the ball went over having to crawl under it... aslo on top of one of the biuldings was a like triangle shaped window??? i remember this well as, me and david were once sat on the top of the prefab, (as kids do) and some how the window went through and the workers inside were stood looking up at us!!! next thing, the security guard was knocking on the door... dont you just miss the childhood days of being a youth...?

Axl Rose Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) It just beings back so many memories of my childhood every time this thread is resurected, I grew up on dutton road, Dad Dennis Davenport, Grandparents Annie and Dennis that had the shop on dutton road and the chippie opposite sunblest. Madowl all the names are familier to me but all are a few years older than me. The ones i remember from around there are the cheethams, horne's debbie and anita. Sure that there is many more but remembering names is not my strong point. Edited July 3, 2009 by Axl Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
