Sally Taylor - I was born at 33 New Street

Lynne Long - Wonderful photos Jo

Jo Edge - Sally Taylor what a small world our family must have moved in when yours moved out. It was a lovely house, I remember it well especially out the back in the yard, if you looked up there was a large black door in a long barn that ran along towards the Ring Of Bells, I remember it being full of books, I wonder what happened to all those.

Sally Taylor - We moved when I was six so that would have been 1962. There was a yard and at the top was the toilet. Remember the tin bath hanging on the wall in the kitchen!
