I am sure that is Johnny Brian on the Birch grove photo. He was married to my best friend, Doreen Cunliffe, formerly of Lilac Avenue. Hes the one, in the back ground

Hi Kath, you would have lived at 32 then it's changed so much now you would not recognise it, so sad all families we grew up with have gone now.
