If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I remember this area when I was growing up, my Nan lived in the small block of flats behind the newsagent shop where my sister, brother and I would get sweets from. Behind the wall, in the centre of shot, is a parking area where we would play football and other ball games, just to the base of the flats in the picture was a playground area. Between the flats behind the shop to the left and down to the left were brick built mounds with forts on the top, all out of shot. Yep happy memories.
The shop on the right wasa newsagents called Wrights, there was a greengrocer'so on the opposite side of the street which was a family business called Hammonds
The shop on the left became a Hairdressers,the Shop on the right was a grocery store,i think it was named "Wrights".
