Hi my mom and auntie Audrey & Beryl were born in Terrace Road 1930s lived there till 60s. I remember as a small lad playing in the old derelict house with my cousins. There used to be a large area of overgrown field or bomb site at the far end I think. Dennisons Watch company was at the end of Villa Road. My Friend is the daughter of Wiiletts the Grocers on Villa Road.

Hi we lived in the grove until 1972 it was called the dump at the end of the grove, I remember Wilettes and the butchers across the road from it also the paper shop and cafe, there was a chip shop at the top of Villa Road run by a Greek family, I remember Andy I think his name was who lived in the grove who rode a scooter with lots of mirrors on it

Not really the correct era but just found a Postcard on eBay https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/144456936704?hash=item21a24ded00:g:0XMAAOSw15ZbthC-
It was sent to a Miss Wilkinson June 12th / 06 - I wonder if she is related to the Wilkinson family who owned the store on Villa Road.

Used to play in the Grove off Villa road with friends in the late 1960s. I believe schoolfriend Johnny Robbins lived there
