I lived at no 7, I sadly remember the day Norman Yates was murdered just across the way near Websters pen,we were playing merps (marbles), with our friends that afternoon.
We used to play football and cricket on the piece of ground in the photo,but if the ball went into Websters pen we would not go and get it,does anyone remember the dogs in there?

Hi, I am looking for any information about the Brown family who lived at 29 Hope Street in the 1940's. My grandfather was John Brown who married Hilda Rowley in Deptford, London in 1941. John was a Grenadier Guardsman during the war. He died and is buried at Monte Cassino. I got this address from their marriage certificate.
I am Johns eldest granddaughter and interested in his family history as all I have is a photo and some documentation.
