Thanks Janet.They are greatly missed of course.I'll never forget that pink dress of mam's -she certainly got plenty of wear out of it!

I'm loving looking at all your photos Geoff. This is a lovely one of your Mum & Dad. Also seeing the row of terraced houses on Rectory Road in the background, the one on the left (next but 1 to the shop) is where I was born.

Hello Susan.Thanks,glad you like the photos.I do remember you and your family living there opposite the bus stop.you moved to Hawthorn Avenue after that,I think.I used to play in Hawthorn Ave loads of times with your brothers Kevin and Brent and Ronald Lawton and David Tattum and Georgie Davies and Duncan McPherson. Great times.
