I lived above Mr Gilbert's the Wet fish Shop in December 1969, when my daughter was born in February 1970 I used to buy lots of bits from the Donkey Shop, also there was a lovely Baby Shop, Clark's Shoe Shop, Toy Shop & a Cycle Shop. On the bridge was a lovely Wool Shop. We also had Woolworths, then it turned into a Tesco we had Barrats Shoes and Jonquil Bakery was where you ...see more
Hi Mr Middleton, thanks for your reply to my enquiry re the Whitton murders. The reason for my interest is because in 1970 friends of mine moved into the house involved; their daughter who was 16 at the time said she used to see strange people in the house, plus there was a funny smell that they all smelt. They were just an ordinary family who didn't know the history of the house; they moved out about a year later.
Re the murder previously referred to, I remember this well. A son killed his parents in Montrose Avenue....just 3 doors away from my home. I don't recall their name, it was in the late 50s, as police were all over the place on my return from Bishop Perrin school.
Does anyone remember a sequence from the tv show minder being filmed in Percy Road in the early eighties? It was at a house a couple of doors along from Pauline Crescent heading south.
