Hi Chris Watkins is well and living in Leicestershire. John Dark is related to a cousin of mine and was well when I last saw him a few years back.

I have a lot of happy memories of Riley Road, my Grandparents lived at the house on the corner , they were Wal and Grace Pagett and my mum was Carole , her friends were Monica and Anne , I’m sure they lived on the road as well, but I’m not sure on surnames , one was possibly woodwood. My Grandad was always in the garden,  he smoked a pipe and always wore a trilby, he was a lovely chap.

Hi there,I knew your mom when I lived in Riley Road,there was a beautiful crab apple tree in the garden---Still there recently...Sorry to learn of her death...Maybe Monica Russell is the girls name,she lived on the other side of the road.There was an "Annette Fellows" too,but older than me(I'm a 1942 model)...Stay safe...KC.

Hi Keith thanks for the reply , yes Monica’s surname could have been Russell ,my grandparents were definitely friends with the Russell’s and they also had friends called Rose and Harry Baldwin who had 3 boys possibly called Stephen , Martin and Peter , I’m sure Stephen was mums age she was born in 41 . Monica married my dads best friend and still is friends with them both now .
