Shared Memories of Ham
![]() 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!
