This photo is of my sister Barbara and I in our 'beautiful' back yard in Manley Street. Let's face it, it was an eyesore but we never thought so at the time.
We had a cat which was always having kittens and we are holding one each in this photo. Folk never had their cats neutered in those days but that didn't bother us then. I'm glad to say that times have changed. Even so, there are still far too many unwanted kittens.

Hi Dave. We lived at number 12. The houses were pulled down in the 70's and we went to live in Winifred Street.
