It's all gawn!

[Eric Gibson]

I just spent a little time on Google Earth trying to look at the route we used to take between the workshop and the showroom at Watson's Broad St where I worked in the fifties/sixties. Villa Street- Nursery Road -Hockley Brook-Icknield Street-Summer Hill Road-Sandpits-St Vincent Street-Sheepcote Street-Broad Street-Granville Street-Tennant Street and into the back entrance at Watsons.
Hardly any of it is recognisable now, streets or buildings.
