Hello John Gore
I was born in Alma Crescent in 1944 and lived there until the family moved in 1954. My order sister was born in Inkerman Street at No. 50 which is where my Grannie Lil lived. I was speaking to my sister last night and here are some names you may recall:-
The Rakes, Iris, Thelma, Johnny, Edna, Pauline and the youngest son whom she thinks was called Lesley. Then there was Rita Bud, Pat and Barbara Green, the Longs who had 7daughters, Jeannie, Doreen Betty Maureen, Barbara Winnie and Christine. She couldn't remember the name of the people that ran the Brit but they had a son called Arthur. The Richardson's ran a sweet shop, Dorothy, Tommy and Dennis. She remembers the name of Gore but seems to think that the children she remembers were older than you. The shop on the corner of Inkerman Street and Alma Crescent belonged to Mrs Speak and on the opposite corner was Beryl Disturnell's shop.
There are of course many other memories that she has. My sister's name is Maisie Brown. Do any of these names mean anything to you?
Janet
