Shortly after the Fultons took up residence in Downall Green road they had new next door neighbours, newly weds Joan and George.
When they found out that that the young couple hadn’t been able to afford a honeymoon they promptly gave them enough money to have a honeymoon to remember.
Sometime later George was front page news when he was a union leader and organiser of a strike at the Vulcan loco works. Death threats he received were taken seriously by the authorities leading to special branch staying at their home and monitoring their telephone. I got the story first hand from Joan a long time member of Park Lane chapel.
