Hi, Babsy - yes, Christine Kipling sounds familiar. She lived next door to us. My dad -Len - had a motorbike - a BSA as I remember - remember riding pillion with - of course - no helmet, nothing to hold on to and nowhere to put my feet - from the age of four or five. Those were the days!

I lived at 137 Windy house Lane until 1946. I attended Stand House Junior and was in the St Swithuns' Church Choir. During the war years I remember going to a house where I understood 'Jacobite's or Recabite's' lived. What they were and I don't think I'll ever know!! The Manor Community Association on City Road put on operatic shows and at the Salvation Army Near Fredson Road, I'd often get a Baked Potato.

Not much, but a lot when you lived in a house where the Gas and Electric had been cut off for not paying the bill!!

Anyone else from the bottom of Windy house on the Forum?

Hewitt -Star - Denton - Eastwood - Gears - Cryer - Or the Cop. He who often gave me a clout for being naughty and sometimes told my mother to send me to bed and not let me outside until he came next day so I could apologies to him. My father was away fighting in the War as were many, many others. So a lot of my generation came from One Parent families but with out todays Social provisions.

(What would people make of that these days if it happened?)
