Yes, it was Mrs Wealthall Sr. My Nan was very friendly with both of them as they were all business owners with shops nearly next to each other. She was also very friendly with the Waldrons (?) I lived with my maternal grandparents on Portland Road near Canning Circus as my mother had died very young. I went to St Mary's Catholic School on Derby Road until age 9 when I moved with my father to Bournemouth. I have loads of cousins still in Nottingham - the place you are born always draws you back..!!

Where did you live? - I'm going back to late 40's/early 50's

Yes, I remember the house with the monkey tree on Churchfield. My Nan lived in Wordsworth Road after moving there after selling the Newsagents on Alfreton Road. Bensons. I used to visit my Nan at weekends and remember playing with Diane when I was about 6/7. She had a red tricycle and I was very envious as I only had a scooter..!! I visited Wealthalls shop regularly and used to go and chat to Mrs Wealthall who was mostly confined to the settee in the living room. It has been nice to read these memories from way way back..!!
