    Just Bringing the Pinfold Street Thread back up. I find on my GGG grandparents marriage certificate that the address they lived at was Pinfold Street. My GGG grandfather's occupation was a "Wire Drawer". I have been up and down that street many times and often wondered whereabouts they lived...

    Hello there ! We lived at 72 Eversley Road. Next door to us at number 70 was the Shop. It was run by a Mr Tom King. I was told he never married. He lived above the shop alone until his death. We lived there from 1960 till 1966. He was still alive when we left there. Good luck with your search. x

    Also, what is puzzling me is that the houses on Eversley road all had little walls around the front of them, tiny gardens sort of. The houses shown on the pic come straight onto the road ?? :o
