Now I recently made friends with Frank Tomlin who lived on Dagnall Avenue in the 1950s and who has kindly shared some of his photographs from the period featuring his family and his friends.
The pictures perfectly recreate that time when the summer holidays stretched on forever and everyday was an adventure.
Leaving all of us just to decide whether to head out onto the meadows or catch the Corporation bus and ask to be put off at the end of the line, just to see what was there.
And Frank has now asked if anyone can track a missing photograph.
He writes, "Andrew one of my mates who passed away a few years ago, had a photograph of a Dagnall Ave 1953 street party for the Coronation. The photograph has since been lost and I wonder if anybody on your site still has a copy?"
Well let’s hope so. You can leave a message on the blog or via the facebook and twitter sites
Location; Dagnall Avenue, 1953
Picture; Frank and family in the garden of number 2 Dagnal Avenue, circa 1953, from the collection of Frank Tomlin
