More about this scene

Where the bus mean- ders westward, the dual carriageway of Balkerne Hill removed a number of buildings on each side of the road on its noisy way to the Southway roundabout, cutting Crouch Street into two. The best house in the street is No 22 on the left, which is Georgian and dated 1763.

As a child in the 1960s and 1070s my memories of Crouch Street are distinctly Christmassy, I loved the decorations they always put out, and also the trip to the butchers there to pick up the sausages and turkey on Christmas Eve, followed or preceded by a trip to Nanna in Butt Road, in of course Butt Road, I loved that street!
