Albion street which is were my youth and growing up was,is now an area of two storey maisonettes and is bismall depressing eyesore to what was once a community spirit of terraced houses..

These eyesores are still standing.
I dont think I will ever again live near where I was born or brought up !, I have some lovely fond memories of "The Dingle" but sadly it is not the place I rememeber, during my childhood it felt safe, friendly, and homely I never knew a front door to be closed during the day and everyone knew evreyone else, it was wierd I lived "in a slum" but couldnt haver been happier if I had lived in a castle !.
