This is how 12 Victoria Road looks now - and this is how I remember it. I notice they have solar heating panels on the roof - new since my time. I loved that house - lots of room in the garden and lots of room for us four children in the house. I would love to see it now.

An old photo of Victoria Road. The second house from the right #12 was where I lived from the age of 13 until I left home to be married at almost 23. I went to college in London for 3 years - but came home for holidays. Along the end of Victoria Road was Breck Road. Old Photos, 3 Years, Two By Two, Married, Street View, College, Left

St. Chad's Church, Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire. Every day, on my way to school, I used to go through this churchyard to catch the bus in "The Square" i.e. "Market Square. St. Chad's is an Anglo Saxon era church, which began with a Roman church on the site. In the spring there were carpets of white snowdrops, then purple and yellow crocuses, then bright yellow daffodils, and paler yellow narcissi throughout the cemetery. I used to love walking through there. Yellow Crocus, Yellow Daffodils, Spring Carpet, Roman Church, Anglo Saxon, Chad, Cemetery, Red Roses, Gazebo

Skipool Creek - I used to walk here as a child, and it looks very much as it did at that time - no date is given for the photo, so it could be from that era. The Shard, Blackpool, Great Restaurants, Vintage Travel Posters, Riverside, Inn, Creek, Hotel

The house with the green door was where I grew up, until I was 13, in the village of Hambleton, Lancashire. My bedroom was the top left window. There was a red brick wall in front of it, & a lawn with a holly tree. My brother and I (+ little sister later) played with the other children from the village, & we played all the traditional children's games - skipping, rounders, marbles, 2 and 3- ball against the side of the house, dressing up and performing plays ... what memories this brings back.

Blackpool Tower is a landmark on the Fylde coast, where I grew up. I have some rich memories of my visits there as a child. We lived, first about 7 miles from Blackpool (early and middle childhood), and then about 4 miles away (during my teens) Middle Childhood, Dance Teachers, Irish Sea, Best Ups, North Sea, Places Of Interest, Ballroom
