Interesting to see photographs of the Royal Warwicks WW1. My Uncle was killed at the battle of Fromelles July 19th 1916. I discovered this when I was tracing the family history. My fathers elder brother who 20 when he died. My father died before I was a year old, so I knew nothing of his...

I remember the Bishops house on the corner of Weaman street and as a child I had to go there to take Mass requests when it was my father's anniversary. I would ring the bell and then the door opened and the housekeeper would let me into the hallway to wait for the priest. It always smelt of...

I have just seen the photographs of Shadwell Street and Little Shadwell Street, I lived in Bath Street and the yard was opposite the Gunmakers arms. As as children my sister, brother and I used to race down the hill in Little Shadwell Street. It was great in the winter as we used to slide down...

Will have a look through old photographs to see if I can find any. Didn't take many as mom couldn't afford a camera.

Thank you once again.

Been studying the photographs of Bath Street, the one with St. Chads church and the houses and the factory showing Walkers Fine Tools 60 these were not there when I was a child. It was an open space with a lot of steps leading to the side of the church. We used to play there with our dolls...

I attended St. Chad's Brealey Street in the 1950's. First I was in the infant school where Sister Philips was Headmistress. Then at the age of 7 went up stairs into the junior section which was all girls. This was until I was ten when the school became co-educational. I only had one year at...

Two years ago whilst on a holiday canal boat we moored up on the canal that ran along Shadwell Street. Forbidden to me as a child as it was all open. My elder sister who was with us decided that it would be good to look around the old quarter. The wooden telegraph pole that marked the entrance...

Thank you once again. Studying the map I remember that 8 and 9 looked like houses but were offices. These were on Bath Street and opposite the Gun Makers. The drop stamp was facing down the yard I think number 4 may have been changed to number one as that is were my parents first lived in...

Thank you for your comments, my name is Pauline - Pauljon is the name I used when I joined. Glad that I am in touch again. Look forward to hearing again.

I lived at 2/11 Bath Street until we were moved in September 1961 for the redevelopment of the area. Friends and neighbours were split up. The houses in the yard were numbered 1 3 2 7 and 11. Often wondered why this was so. Where were numbers 4 6 8 9 10?. In the yard at the top opposite...

Thank you. I am just finding my way around the forum as new to it.
