So George Oldham was right at the end next to the hospital.
Haha yes Bob our house probably was a bit scruffy, the garden certainly... but it was the only one on those blocks of Queens Road with a different shaped door surround - ours had a square window next to the door, all the others had an arched surround to the door. Never did work out why, it spoilt the unity of the whole street design. Still the same today.
The E Smith at 36 was our neighbour, a very cultured couple he and his wife Ruby, though I believe he worked in the family fent business but was retired by then. They used to play bridge with my parents at our house every Sunday night. Put me off cards for life.
