  1. What memories. No 30 High Street belonged to my grandma and grandad Reuben and Annie Beedham (rented anyway) and before that my greatgrandma and grandad, the Lacey-Hattons, lived there until they died. I think they moved in when they were new along with the younger end of the family. That house is just where that lone man is standing. It must be a very old picture because the railings were taken for the war effort, leaving just little stumps that were uncomfortable to sit on. I was born there during the war and my sister Jean and also my cousin Gail. Next door below were the
    Batterhams and below them was Edna and Hazel Walker and their parents.
    Then in the block below were Mr and Mrs Wain and then Mrs. Barlow. All lovely neighbours making us children welcome. There were few cars in the street in those days, just the odd Hoggs bus or a horse and cart. We loved living there until the war ended.
