Margaret nee Backhouse was originally from Leeds, Yorkshire. She was the older sister of my mother Muriel (who sadly passed away in 2009, my dad Harry passed away 2011). Arthur is my uncle and his sons John, Alan and David my cousins. Please pass my best wishes to everyone. John and Alan will remember me, not sure if David will as he was very young when we last saw each other.

I was born in Devonshire Road in 1961. I remember walking with my mum down Powell Road, through Pellhams Alley, past the North Parade post office, past the police station and along the High Road towards Langdon Hills. My mum had friends in Lee Chapel Lane and the walk seemed to go on forever. Happy days.
This was taken five years before I was born, but I remember the High Road very well and loved walking along it, looking in the shop windows, it seemed to go on forever.
As Sheila mentions, the above photo shows my grandfather Arthur Pearman collecting my grandmother Margaret Pearman (whom I never met unfortunately). He didn't even realise someone had taken this photo.
