Napier Terrace
I was born in Wisbech in 1937 in Ramnoth Road, we moved to Napier Terrace on the canal until after the war when we moved to Wales. I have fond memories of living in Napier Terrace, we lived in the last house, No 37. My father was in ARP when a bomb fell on the cinema. A lasting memory was when I learned to ride a bike, I fell into the canal. We had an allotment and I remember a Mr Peachey who had only one leg, and Mr Tash the coalman. I worked for Ashworths the newsagent on the bridge. I used to meet the train and get the papers. Happy days.
If anyone has any photos of Napier Terrace please contact me, thanks.

RE: Napier Terrace
My Aunt and Uncle, Hilda and Ray Tawn lived at number 23 Napier Terrace when I was growing up in the 1950's. They had 3 daughters, Shirley, Barbara and Sue. Uncle Ray worked as a Postman and I remember too that Freddy Mills and his family lived quite close to them. Uncle Ray's mother, (Nanny Tawn) lived in George Street which backed on to Napier Terrace.
