More about this scene
In the days when this was an abbey church, the ornate door on the right, the abbot's door, was part of the monks' processional route from the choir to the cloisters, which were located in the corner of the nave and the south transept, the most sheltered part of the monastic buildings.

No photographs but I don't need them! So many happy memories of our family living in Lattimore Road...Wellers, Days, The Labour Exchange, Boxes, Fisher & Knights and Lattimore Hall. We had it all!

Anyone remember the Victory Street Party in 1945? Anyone with memories of this time and/or Alma Road school?
