(Click on pictures to enlarge)
Getting this entry together was a labour of love really. Finding the pictures and scratching my head and trying to remember details! Perhaps a few subsequent entries would be an idea, explaing the whys and wherefores of each place. Why have I lived in so many places? Why indeed.
10 Southfield Terrace, Laneshawbridge, Colne, Lancashire.
Here I was born 1939 Number ten is the right of the man in the picture.
56 Granville Road, Sevenoaks, Kent 1939-1944

Sadly I have no photo of this address. Sadly because, if
I had a childhood home, this was "IT".
So this "at school" shot will have to suffice.
