If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

This  place has not changed in nearly 100 years. I lived here for 15 years. The houses were originally built for Billings (the printers) workers All of the houses had an equal share in the green at the front, there was a committee and we all paid subs. We used to have a man who cared for the shared area called Mr Percy Lemon. We used to close the gates at both ends to stop cars from driving in when the children were playing on the green.
