I can put some names to some of the shops....there was a bread and cake shop (probably across from where you lived..at a guess) that was Mona's.

I remember I think they had two kids Malcom and Margaret, they had a gang hut in their back yard where we use to play. When it was time to come in from playing their Dad would stand at the door and shout "Malcom Malcom Margareeeeeet" as loud as he could. All the mums and dads use to shout our names to come in at tea time or bed time.
There was a piece of spare ground in front of our hose next to what I think at the time was a Methodist Church where we had some wonderful bonfires and all the mums would make parkin and treacle/bonfire toffee.
