52 is roughly at the end of Bradshaw St on the right side going up. There was an off-licence and the Boar's Head pub across the road from your house with Joe''s chippy a few doors up.@ 66. Carnival days were held on Saturdays in the centre, and large RC church parades on some Sundays. There would be a big one in 1951 for Fe4styival of Britain.

You may have been the first occupants of Sawley Ave post-war. If so, likely that your parents already loved in the town. I think they were council houses.
