I don't remember knowing anyone from your end of Cowper St. The only kids I knew from Cowper St were on the other side of Summer Lane, across from the school. Age was a major factor regarding who you knew back then. If they were school friends then you only knew kids in your year, unless they lived close by to where you lived.Yes Dave that is Rodway street to the left as kids we didn't call it rodway it was always the dead end lol .
