So good to see the old Lowther Street sign again!!!

I can see framed in the open doorway on the left, Vera lalley in the Festival of Britain photo. She is mentioned in Paul O`gradys book,it brings back memories.

Yes auntie Vera ( as we called her, and uncle Pat with son Raymond ) lived next door to us at number 3 Lowther Street.

Yes good old vera had a lovely personality.I could never understand when I was a child why somebody who I always knew as Vera buntz became Vera Lalley in 1939. But as an adult it became very plain.

Wow!! Just stumbled across this. Vera was my grandmother on my father's (Ray) side. Unfortunately she passed away a while back. Pat died unfortunately when I was only seven, although I do remember him as a very kind man.

My dad is still going strong...

Last saw Vera selling fruit & veg from a stall in the old market,she had a smile and a word for everyone.She could certainly do the business.

Hi John, the little girl dressed as a queen in the front of the picture looks like Irene Pew, sad thing is, if it is her, she gave birth to me six years after the photo was taken, innocence doesn't last long.....

Fifth in from the right, i am sure that is my Nan. Molly Pew.
