Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 #40. in the above photo, at far left, are the large trees at the entrance to a big house (not seen). It must have been around 1945 when I was passing the gate, and leaning on it was an old man. He beckoned me and then gave me a marble. I took it and almost immediately it fell from my hand, rolled down the pavement and fell down a grating. I'm guessing this is the House, the Gate, and the Trees. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 #57. That's it CT. The road in forground is Bulwell Lane, leading to The Peach Tree pub. The row of houses bottom left were known as the canary houses, for some reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ValuerJim 277 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 And it's the Pear Tree, Chulla. I went to Southwark Street school, and spent my pennies on warm cobs smeared with hard licquorice, from the shop facing the Stone Houses, which used to be on the corner of Bulwell Lane. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
