I have just joined the forum and put in my first post that I had horrible memories of Lacey's. I chipped my front tooth and after several attempts by them to repair it I ended up with an abscess and had to have it removed. I spent my teenage with a false front tooth on a plate. The equipment was so old. I think he used to work the drill with his foot!!did anyone use this dentist...???
laceys the dentist...clifton road..

Yes it was a very scary time when we were kids Lyn . The police also did a search of our entry and backyard when we lived in Clifford Sttopsy i have never seen that photo before...so very sad..little margaret was only 6 years old...i remember it well...i would have been 12 coming on 13 at the time she went missing and my school used victoria road baths for our lessons...i recall people talking about it when we went swimming one day and even though i lived in villa st which was quite a step away from clifton road i remember the police coming down our entry and making a search of the back gardens...

I am a newbie to this Forum and reading it brought back many memories. I was born in Clifton Road number 155 I moved out in 1960 but my mom lived there until about 1969. To the side of us we had the Hardwicks nee Broadbent, Taylor then Spence. To the other side number 157 was a drapers shop (front only) the Ormes lived behind. Other families that lived the back of 157 was the Hortons, Cockbills, Read and Lewis. I remember Margaret Gibson and Frankie and Tony Bullock lived in Gothic Terrace. Down Clifton Road towards Upper Sutton Street there was a paper shop run by Violet and Len Barker. I remember the bread shop, butchers, coal yard and grocers. My brother used to deliver groceries on a bike for them. I also remember the other grocery and sweet shop, Burnetts opposite us. We used to spend lots of time in Aston Park or Victoria Road baths and I remember the doctor on Victoria Road, Dr Tellekie (not sue of the spelling).
