As for me, I lived on Factory Bottom where I note that our house at the junction of Victoria Street and Carter Street has been demolished and replaced by a grassy bank - great improvement.

Hi John,
Yes Ronnie Kenyon is my older brother. he was born in 1938, I was born in 1943.
Terry Gorman who lived on Nuttall St. was a member of Christ Church scouts, as we were, so we knew one another very well. It also happens that Harry Brunten who was a sort of guardian for Terry and his sister, who's name I've forgotten was also a friend of our Grandfather who was manager of the moulding shop at H&B.
My brother made a career in the power supply industry and finished as head of the overhead lines for Devon & Cornwall. He is now a great, great Grandfather living near Exeter.
Cheers
Philip
