    Just had a chat with mum and she said that the roof was already bomb damaged when they moved into 83 around mid 1940 but 1/81 was bombed in Oct 1942. They were the Dalziel family, for anyone curious. My mother was evacuated to Scotland for most of the war.

    It was always houses on the site. One row on the road and another row behind. My mum used to live at number 83, 2 houses down from Vic’s Cafe. She said that it looked to be in the yard of the greengrocers shop with the double gates.
