    Had the Classic car accident call last year, I asked him which one? "How many you had" he asked , I said 3 " oh Please tell me" he said in a excited voice No, You tell me which one you called me about, a few seconds of silence , then the line went dead. Forgot to mention - I don't drive.

    Thinking a little more about those houses, they probably came down before '72, because I was still at Redhill Junior School and left there in '72.

    They were demolished 1972/75 ish, If memory serves the houses were becoming pretty run down, not sure who owned them. Numbers 1289 - 1301 were owned by Mitchell's & Butler's Brewery, and they survived until the 1980s ( around 1983 ish)
