I lived in this road before it was demolished from 1949 to 1961. Great place to live.

Were you related to Chris?
Added by Jim Keogh on 10 August 2014
No not related to Chris, but he did live two doors up from us. Bit of a scally wag. His parents were moved to the same road as us and lived opposite us in Balfour Grove.

Funny that, Chris became a very good buisness man and owned C/S motors, Chris is not very well just now, Oh well, if Chris was a scally wag then the rest of us were also, as we were his mates.

Only knew Chris for a short while. Glad he made something of himself. Hope he will soon be on the mend. Give him my regards. He probably won't remember me too well, but he may remember my sister Dorothy, she was about his age. Nice to hear from people you once knew. Thanks for contacting me. I am sure as you say we were all scally wags, no computers then or mobile phones, had to make our own entertainment, got up to all sorts.
