Hough Green
This is just as I remember it when I used to go to Hough Green station (the entrance is on the extreme left of the photo) train-spotting. All steam in those days of course. The scene is very little changed today except for the cars and the lack of a petrol station. Ditchfield Road, on the extreme right of the picture, was a quiet leafy lane then, leading down towards St Michaels and the new housing estates of Coronation Drive and Philip Road. Indeed all the street names had a Coronation theme, it being newly built in 1953.

RE: RE: Hough Green
Yes, Eric, I remember how everyone wanted one of the new "scheme" houses...my cousin's wife still lives up there, but sadly my cousin Bob Moss passed on. Everyone, except my Nanny wanted one. Her issue was the lack of a decent half of mild beer...I think she may have been referring to the Hammer & Pincers? What else do you remember? What year are we talking about? You have my attention!
