Hi Linda and Margaret, Really good to hear from some ex Berwick St neighbours. My memory of names and faces is not as good as I'd like it to be, but some names that I remember are, Tommy Hibbs, James Heaton,
Barry McAloon,Brenda Burns,Margaret Wilson,Carol Cooke
Freddie Walkden, Anne and John Cassin. Ninnie was a special person, I remember the Walkdens dog (I think it was Laddie)running around with half a brick in its mouth instead of a ball. When my Dad bought the house at No 19 we lived in the cellar,
as the previous owner (an old lady) had done so because of the blitz,we had the rest of the house as well, but no hot water,a belfast sink in the back room of the cellar,
lighting the fire and putting a coal shovel up with newspaper to draw the fire, (health and safety?)no bathroom, outside toilet, Wellies folded over and leaving a sore mark round my legs, but we were all in the same boat.All Saints Park was our local play area, and we played in the bombed out houses around the area.
