Was here til I was 8
That street view has brought back memories of the nice countryside runs I used to get around that part of the world was a delivery driver. Big cement works just down the road from there isn’t there?
From 2 til 14
Made of MDF and whispers
Closest I have been to a proper Torying was living in a flat in this building, in Dewsbury of all places
Betty Boothroyd house. Betty is a legend, I’m honoured to have lived in her house.
Fucking hell jook!!
One of my best mates lives just round the corner from here (Lugano Road)
Really was a very modest flat inside, I was on a pittance at the time.
That’s the one. Castle Cement (or the works formerly know as Ketton Cement) was the view from my bedroom window.
I love these buildings, always makes me sad how much they’ve fallen into disrepair (externally at least)
woah!
Bramhall Park just down the road. pretty nice place to live, really.
this was the first house I lived in after halls at uni, and is probably the best i’ve ever lived in since. something silly like 300 quid a month rent.
photgraphic evidence
I lived in a building with a blue plaque for awhile - it was this attrative gaff (you can actually see the plaque in this pic)…
Pfft, ^that blue plaque is to commemorate that none other than Kenny Sansom grew up there
Not fancy enough to have roads go right up to our houses. You can see a bit of the back from this though, where the slightly fuzzy patch is.
I lived there around 1996/7!
Parents built this house and still live there. Shame you can’t see it.
who was the blue plaque for
that’s actually a really really big lightswitch
The street view van didn’t make it all the way down my parents’ cul de sac so just imagine a small 1980s cookie-cutter four-bed with a garage
