Steptoad Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I grew up on Wayland Road through 60s, 70s and early 80s my parents moved out of number 50 about twenty years ago and the the Mrs at number 51 was my mums best friend:hihi: I remember the Burgins too, David used to occasionally take me to SDunday school. I'm pretty sure we must know each other if not by name at least by sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh..Helooo then No 50..now that would have been probably around where the garages were in the corner next to the rear of the church was it.. I think.??? .What do they call you if you dont mind me asking..if you dont want to say on here ..then youre quite welcome to pm me if thats better for you...and also if you went to sunday school..I presume it was the little church on Sharrowvale Road? Then yes youre probably right..we might know each other if not by name then by sight..cos I too went to Sunday School there..!!! Who was it at 51? I've forgotten who it was do you know!!! My aunt and uncle used to live at 53..blimey isnt it a small world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
