Fred, I’ve seen previous posts from you and often wondered if you were related. Thanks for clearing that one up. Just out of interest, which number in SchoolStreet did you live at?

I hope you aren’t offended Graham with my trying to improve your photograph. I just thought I would do you a favour in my own way.

My late wife Eileen Ramsdale lived at no 7 school street and her friend Sheila Fitzhenry lived at no 9. Some time ago Sheila wrote a few pages about life in school street. One shop that gets a lot of mention is Lizzie Lowes which was a typical corner shop of the time. Sheila was born at no 61 but the family moved to no9 six months later.

Brian. I’m always interested in reading about life in School Street as it’s where my mother was born and raised. Did Sheila make her memories of School Street that you say she wrote down, available for others to read?
