We moved to Minster Way when I was six years of age, the estate was still being built and a lot of the workers were German prisoners as this was immediately after the war.

I have wonderful memories of the time we lived in Minster Way.
I wasn't a resident in Minster Way, but as a small boy I used to visit my St Ethelberts School friend Adrian Kenny there every weekend. About 1960 it would have been. This road and its housing was really a relic of the Second World War - emergency housing made from prefabricated materials (the buildings were known as 'prefabs') As usual, they lasted for much longer than was envisaged and would have eventually been cleared some years later. Lovely and warm they were!
