Neighbours in Bessemer Street 1949
 photo and info - Sheila Barker
This photo although of inferior quality taken with my first second hand little box camera about 1949, evokes lovely memories for me of our next door neighbours :-
Mrs Gill of number 73 Bessemer street who liked to stand on the step and take the night air- although, as you say John, not always fresh - and
Mr Duckering of number 77 - who used to walk to Eston every night and return always at the same time. |
