Birthplace piccy
 

Was just thinking.....it would be nice to have a piccy of where I was born....I was a home birth via the midwife.
I've got piccys of my 3 schools....Hannah St.....Springhill and Accy Grammar,but none of my home address.Some piccys I,ve got go close...the "smoothing iron " on the corner near Highams mill....(sadly no more) and one of the back lane past the Old band club looking down towards our back gate and Highams.There is also one of the corner house on Marsden st at the bottom of Rileys Hill(they were posher than ours cos they had a front "garden"...:rolleyes:.
So ....can anyone take a piccy and email it to me?
Address?.......33 Marsden St
Thinks......Margaret Pilkington lives a spit and a stride away.:p

Thanks so much Dave.....That bedroom upstairs was where myself and 2 brothers slept. The window downstairs was "dad's shopfront".He grew crysanthemums and tomatoes in season in an allotment at miller fold.Us poor boys had to walk up there....and on the trip back carry dad.s wares.
He had a good trade with the Highams mill folk...at hooter time he had customers constantly arriving...esp for flowers. I don,t think he ever had a license...think the local bobby was a customer....:)

I think they have a new front door, but I think this might be number 33 for sale.

There are interior photographs.

Sorry!

It's 29, and I've just been done for virtual kerb crawling.

Checking front doors didn't wash with the copper.
