Yes Lyn , it was next to the doctors on the corner, as shown in map. alice harrington was there in 1950-55. On line electoral rolls don't go beyond 1955

Lyn I went to Harry Lucas School with Barbara Weekes who just lived a couple of doors up from the Doctors. This would be late 50s. Carol
 
hi carolina...well as my gt grandmother was at no 32 until at least 1955 (i think she was there longer) the chances are that barbara and her family would have known her...did you keep in touch with barbara...

lyn
 
Lynn, unfortunately I didnt keep in touch with Barbara, she isnt even on Friends Reunited under Harry Lucas either. All these promises we make when we leave school or work to keep in touch with each other, mostly never come to anything. I suppose our lives take on new beginnings elsewhere.
