Trevor, the names i recall of the Toogoods was Queenie & Ivy. I seem to remember that you lived up a terrace almost opposite our house which was No37. Mrs Lora Gunn ran the outdoor , she had a grandson called Harvey.You are bang on Brian - Do you remember the Twogood family in between them. Joe had 2 elder sisters but I can't remember their names. I lived facing the outdoor just a stones throw from the photograph shown. Our lives must have run close together in the early days as I to went to St Alban's from the age of 4+ to 11 when our family left the area for Sheldon in 1957. We lived at no 67.
Trevor, I must apologise I was getting you mixed up with Tony Hancox, it was he who lived up the terrace on your side of the road. Also do you remember Malclom & Peter Price, they lived in the house just visible in the picture corner Angelina st & Dymoke st.Brian,
Once again you are correct the Toogoods daughters but they were older and Joey was a year or two older than me. We lived on the front of the street. facing the outdoor and between us and the Bradshaw shop was the family Craythorne's they had a son and a daughter, the son I think was John and did National Service with the lad from the house the back of him called ISHMALE or similar, any way they went AWOL. The redcaps came for them, exciting time for me, what drama. I don't know which way the house numbers ran I guess the shop would have been No 71 or 63. I don't remember any of the people you mention including the teacher. The only one for sure was a Miss Wilson who I think was very handy at pulling up my short trouser leg and giving me a right slap for some reason or other. A Miss Gittings was I think the headmistress. The senior school we had a Mr Cox who had a glowing reputation of being handy with his cane. Fortunately I never had to find out. We moved after the start and I only went there for about 3 weeks. I had a mate called John Smith who lived up the next entry up towards the school. Never seen or heard of him since. Thankyou for the info it's nice to walk down the old end again. Regards trevor.
