Lolly I went on your google earth tour , and on up Lamberhead Road . I knew they had knocked down the houses we knew as the White Houses , but why have they not re-built some more . With starting to build on green belt areas ,why not there again . Or is the ground unsuitable .?

There was a lot of spare land that wasn't built on.  The Green, and land near Saddleback Crescent to name just two places. Maybe the reason was because of subsidence. I think the White houses  or at least some of them had been subject to subsidence, so were demolished.

Ring any bells at 0 53 Fred?

By ek, it looks a lot tidier than it did 50/60 years ago

Ah, I remember sitting with my mates at the edge of the field on a very hot summer day..just watching...it was so peaceful back then. We didn't have a care in the world.

The good old days on Norley. Jam butties for breakfast, dinner and tea. No money for out else.

Evelyn Leather was the mother, a good friend of my mother?
