"For some reason, Hodges Street had one house fewer on the left hand side,

looking up the street, than on the right. The ground adjacent to number 1 was

left undeveloped for years, until my parents acquired it in the 60’s. Eventually,

they built a new fish &chip shop, allowing us to get back our front room, which

had previously housed the shop.
The picture shows my mother, Anna Alfieri, holding Stephen Coleman, Dolly

Pyle with Phillip Coleman, Josephine Alfieri (my sister) and Phillip & Stephen’s

mother, Barbara Coleman" Alma Saxton.
