    Pat Crowley and her sister Ann lived next door to us...think we moved in to number 63 in 1960/61 so would have been there when you were..I had an older sister Sylvia who was best friends with Sandra Talbot...also had a younger brother Andy...I left school in July 1964...would love to see any photos you have.

    Hi Radford Boy...no I wasnt a plumber but the lad next door was..Tony Bentley...he had younger brother and sister Michael and Susan..think you moved out not long after we moved in..I remember the Brodells...the Crowleys who lived next door..the Scales..Palethorpes..Wagstaffs...Talbots..Morleys..Blatherwickes..Pates..Jansons..Dudleys.
  6. Been listening to Radio Caroline on 648 not a bad signal picking it up on my old grundig radio plus its pretty good on my car radio but its just carrying the main Caroline internet service..the format is album tracks mainly rock so not really my thing..they do have a Caroline Flashback service which I prefer at least when they can be arsed to have a DJ on..continuous music without anyone speaking is boring..Roger Day does a good show at 4pm weekdays and Ron Brown also on Sunday at 10pm..sorry Caroline..53 years to get a licence..would have hoped for something a bit better and more entertaining

    Chris Morley was one of the first mods on the street to get a scooter but he broke his leg riding pillion on Dick Pates Lambretta when they had an accident...the Wagstaffs were Nigel, Pete and Robin...Pete and Robin went on to be DJ's on Radio Trent. The people who lived in our house before us were called the Monks..I remember the Blatherwicks the old man wouldn't let me have my football back if it landed near his roses..they had a daughter Linda. pete c....looking for a vespa
