Just joined the site. Fascinating stuff and so many memories jogged. My grandfather was William (Bill) Baglin, who owned the coal merchant on Clifton Rd. His sons, Arthur and Ken (my dad) worked there when they were young but got out of the dirt and grime as soon as they could. We lived on Upper Sutton St in the late 60s for a few years when the redevelopment was going on, two houses up from the pub (The Crown?) on the corner of Upper Sutton St and Clifton Rd. I think the landlord's name was Albert Selman? My dad's second cousin ran the coal merchant at that point - I think his name was Edwin Baglin. Other names I remember from the time - Paul Terry (neighbour on Sutton St); the Hagans (from Clifton Rd); the D'arcy's (Sutton St); Annie Bagley (quite a character, I remember). As I said, we were there when everything was being knocked down and the Expressway being built. Mr Sears, my teacher at Upper Thomas St, got quite mad at me for having dirty shoes in the morning after walking across the bomb sites and over the bridge crossing the huge trench that became the A38, and made me clean my shoes in front of the class. Happy days. Still have the scar from falling into the cellar of a house that had been knocked down on Clifton Rd. Wow, years since I remembered any of that!
