I can't find any photos from the 40s or 50s, but I've dug out a few interesting ones of the area from the mid-60s. Hope these revive a few memories...

Hi, Mrs Rossi was my nan. I entered this forum to find some pictures of my Mum's street and it's so nice to read my nan being referenced smile

I was wondering if anyone had any photographs of my nan's chippy or the street in general?
