I remember the laundry, the surname was Lee, I went to school with the daughter but can't think of her first name. I lived at 297 Borough Road from 1954 - 1966.

I think her name was Dot Lee. I went out with a friend of hers and also knew her from dances at the Instonians. I lived in Harrowby Rd. and worked at the Central library in the late 60s.
