What a wonderful sight. No litter, no cars and two beautiful people. (Not counting the kids). Is that a gas lamp in the picture?

when working for the corpy :roll: :roll: i worked on a few of the houses before they where knocked down
the house i lived in milton street had no back fireplace so when the houses where getting demolished.
i found :roll: :roll: :roll: a fire place just lying there :roll: :roll: :roll:
i must have been the hulk carrying it to milton street but it looked good the best in the street :D :D :D

yes bob Josie was in touch with me a few weeks back and we had wonderful times in brook rd I have seen Josie once in 50 years and that was at hes mams funeral a few years bac.bob those fireplaces were great worth a fortune today and to think they were all smashed up when the houses came down.

Hi josie cogo47. lovely to see these pictures from my past. I wonder if anyone remembers Frannie Cliff, Johnnie Bradley, or Mavis Stewart, all from Brook road ,plus the large family of thirteen at the top of the road called the Gerrards I think. memories not as good as it used to be !. Oh by the way I lived next door to Mrs Mc. and she's standing right outside her gate Do people remember the Aunt Sally Works 2 houses down on the photos. Would love to see more photos (from anyone) : at all possible
