I was born in Port Clarence in 1952 in Bell Street, my mam's maiden name was Lipthorpe till she married my father, Arthur Cane [Cobber]. We moved into 22 Victoria Terrace roughly about 1961.

I had many mates, Jimmy Appleton, Chris Duffy, Michael Lavan, Les Fleming, Geraldine Colne, to name but a few, so if there is anybody out there who lived in Port please get in touch.
