My Life
I lived at Railway Cottages in Carlin How with my grandparents and mum and dad, for a few years, after that went down to Rolingson Street where we stayed until I was 11. We used to go to the club close to the school. We left the house when my perants split up and the next door people had our house. I was very good friends with a girl called Susan Fox. By the way my name was Valerie Bartram.

Westray St And The Appletons
Hi, I was born in 1937 in Furnace Cottages but spent my childhood until 1954 living at 26 Westray Street. My gteat friend is Peter Libby who still lives there and who I manage to visit every year . Might I suggest you google Carlin How and look at the many photos in the archive. A site full of names and places. I think I recall the Appletons but it was all so long ago.
