Prospect House

I was born at my Grandad & Grandma's house in Prospect House and lived there until 1951 when I moved to Highfield, I remember walking down the railway line to school at Highfield with my friend's Maureen French and Vera Gardener. I also remember my uncle Sid bringing the pit ponies out of the drift mine and letting us wash them.
