I was born on Swans Row, also known as Berryford Place. I would love to go back there, I know the M1 runs through it now but the back roads are still there. I need to know how to get there now, I now live in Manchester, hope someone can help me find my birth place.

Evans Concrete Products Ltd, Greenhill Lane, Riddings

I am the lad on the bike in this photo. I remember the photographer standing in the road with a camera on a tripod. I know for def it was a Saturday morning because it was my job to fetch the bread from Stoppards the butchers/bakers every Saturday morning.
