That's a fascinating site Mark, thanks for posting it!  My Mum spent two or three years there in her teens, she's popping round later to see the website on my computer.

Well Mum came round and found it very interesting, brought back all sorts of memories  :)  She lived in Waltham Road from about 1935 to 1949 and said she'll have a think about some stories she might be able to add to the site.  She'll be 80 next week and anything that helps jog the memory is brilliant.
Thanks again, Heather
