Yikes, I don't remember tenements at all. We got the bus, we went to the bottom of Park Road, by the Cinema and got a bus there to Prescot Road (I think) and walked to Baden Road.
I liked it there. Had a whole set of friends there as well as my own neighbourhood. There was a bombed site 'bricky' and we used to collect match boxes and go there and bury the worms (there was grass growing among the bricks) in the matchboxes, bury them, make little crosses for the graves and say a prayer! I always remember this as 'sweet' but now wonder why there were so many dead worms? Did the boys kill them and girls bury them? It all seems so macabre now I have thought of that.
