Ham, the Street c1950 (ref: H352005)
Year: 1955 A Ham Family
My mother and father lived in Evelyn Road - the cul-de-sac opposite the large white house in the distance - mother still there - lived in two of the houses for all her eighty years - married the boy next door (well.. at the top of the cul- de- sac!).
I'm 53 and it is how I remember itn into the early 1960s - Elson the grocer on the right, the shop on the right became the Co-Op, the central shop was Frank Birch the Butcher next to Dunkley's sweet shop where I worked as a lad.
I can see the faces now!
Left in 1980 and back to see Mum a number of times per year.
A fantastic place to grow up in the 1950s & 1960s - the Common, the Park, the River, Ham Pits - cycling, football & fishing in the pond.
Different times!
