I remember the Boore family. I think Barbara Boore was a friend of my sister Rita Oliver.
That photograph is very early 1950s , possibly even 1949 . The gardens are all freshly planted , with no privet hedges , which becam a feature of nearly every garden on the estate. I do remember the Semms twins , (Paul and Barry?) , they were one of three sets of twins in Caldwell Road c. 1950 , the other two being the Bowens , and the Ravening girls Pat and Pam who lived at number 25 or 27.
The Boore family were neighbour of ours. We lived at number 21 just along the street . Mrs. Boore looked after me when my Mum was working. Apart from John , she had a daughter Barbara. She had a large framed enfraving in her front-room , some classical scene with nude lady , which my Catholic Mum told me not to look at.
The photo of Caldwell Road there is a little black car parked at the side of the road.Both my brother and I believe it is our dad’s car . I remember him coming home with it for the first time, we all climbed in for a ride we were so excited, my brothers and I . This our first trip in a car. All the neighbours were out to see the excitement.We lived in number 20, the Simms family. Does anyone remember my family.
Any idea where this picture came from? Thats my dad and gran in the pic!
Not as far as I know, I’m afraid. My family comes from the northwest of England, and I added this page in my capacity as a volunteer for the Making Memories project. However, I’ve never researched my entire family history, so there’s always a possibility.
I notice that a picture was sent by Richard Brockbank. A family called Brockbank lived in Woodhall Lane. Any relation?????
