My parents and their brothers and sisters all attended the school before me. My ...see more
I lived in Chequers Road, called Chequers lane in these photos. The girl in the photo is standing outside her gate in the house that was next door. My house was the other side of the tree. When the photo was taken there were two old wooden cottages which my father helped to pull down when the new brick ones were built. They were farm worker's cottages.
