Hi thank you for the welcome. I was born at 28 Pym Street opposite Moffat Street in 1948. Me Mam Marjorie and my sister Gillian were also born in the house which was the home of my mother's aunt Florence Williams. My father was born at 16 Simpkin Street and my Grandfather lived in that house right up until he died in the forties. I loved St Anns. I have very fond memories and I am passionate about my heritage. Very, very happy days. -

Born and bred in St Anns and very passionate of my heritage. Although we moved from the area, my Great Aunt lived there right up until demolition. Then moved to council houses in Aspley and finally Bilborough. Last one on Hanslope Crescent. Looking forward in being part of this nostalgic forom.
