Mishap at the junction of Darlington St. East and Gordon St. Sometime in the early 80's I suspect.

The house belonged to Mr.&Mrs Ball, fortunately the lived at the back of the house so no one was hurt, it did however have a great effect on thier lives.

Although I don't remember this incident I heard about it from the house owner, Mrs Ball(Ellen) when we were in hospital together in September 1983. She spoke of it as if it had happened several years previously, so I think in the late '70s. The 'R' registration of the coach was 1976. As Mr Walsh said it was a shocking event for Mr and Mrs Ball and took some time to be repaired. Fortunately Ellen had not lost her sense of humour and she was full of fun and anecdotes which got us through the long,boring days in hospital.
