I knew all the family well. Played with as a childSorry. Didn’t know that was a problem
I used to live next door to Tim Flynn and Floss at number 507. They always has an Alsatian and also chickens are one stage
Thanks for that know if Tim had children rough idea when Floss diedMy sister lived at 505 in the sixties with her young family. I think the last shop before the houses was Sam Saunders newsagent and general store.
Thank you for this , i must admit i have had a problem finding Florence´s parents, never gave it a thought she was married before, think i will get her Marriage and Death Certificates, reason being can never remember her and in 1980 being inmy 20´s and Tim dying 6 years later , but thanks for the infoWas Floss some years older than your uncle?

I am sure most here can tell the same story, bad memories for me.I remember going to that dentist when I was a child. What a terrible experience. I remember it well - that big old leather chair, the gas mask, the blood. I lived in Ash Road so Mom and I could walk, but I never went there again, I put up with tooth ache until I was 16 years old and found a really good dentist by the Pelham. So different today though, my dentist is a very kind, gentle man.
I eventually went to the School Clinic in Sheep Street (there is another thread somewhere). It was just as bad as the denting is Bowyer Road!
brilliant.pics Viv thanks,,love the paddington hatsin #410A few more views of AR Rd shops, no dates but must be early 1900s. Viv.
