I used to walk right past here on my way to St Nathaniels school. I used to live in Millers Lane and left there in 1964 when I got married. I now live in Michigan, USA.

Hi Harold Stevenson. What a transport system we had then. Those were the days. Remember me, lived in Collinge St, and used to work with Ann.

Tom... it seems that every picture you post I have lived there! But not this time... but my dad did! From where the picture was taken you would have the Queen's Arms behind.... and a small terrace of three cottages would have been to the left (where the patch of grass is)... my father was born in one of them... there is in fact a picture of them in this section.
