The back Neighbours in the 50's and 60's: back fence was Tommy Johns (worked for Griffen and Smiths (mitre 10 now) wore a black bowler hat, gabardine coat and carried an umbrella (London style dress code) use to go round the hotels collecting orders but by lunch time was half sozzled staggering home for lunch to be berated my Mrs. Johns, You've been drinking again blah blah blah ( I can still hear her) On the left side fence was Joe and Doss Schist with their 3 children Alison, Ron, Joy, later sold house to Kevin and Dawn Caldwell (Marsden road). On the right side over fence was Pippy Southern, who use to yell 'I'll tell your bloody father on you' and burnt 3 footballs that (accidentally) went over the fence.

Lee Williams
Geoffrey King We were next to the County Council yard (tamed a few feral kittens from there), Westland timber yard (used to bounce on the wood stacks) and also the Caldwells, their daughter Helen was in my class at High School. At the very back of that washing line was a retired couple Aulds I think.

Geoffrey King
Lee Williams Well that was years after what I described

Lee Williams
Geoffrey King yes, late ‘60’s

Murray Bradley
Remember you living there when we were at school

Lynda Pope
I loved the Gilmer, my second home and your mum was just lovely. I remember the fluffy slippers too.
