My Sister and her husband took Dad just for a drive one day, but they didn't tell him where they were going. Dad recognised it straight away, even though he'd have been 9 or 10 at the time. He had great memories of the place, even though there were NUNS.... AARGH
Honestly Chazz, I don't really know. I seem to have 1st Ave and 21st Ave in my head, but it can't have been 21st, because that's where I was born. I'll ask my Sister, she's 4 years older than me.
Talked to my Sister, Chazz and she says it was 19th Ave. Sorry for taking so long, but when I call my Sis, she won't stop talking. She's a woman...
Me Mam would often tell us about the blitz. She lived on 5th Ave with 19th opposite and I can remember the big concrete air raid shelter they shared with next door. My Grandad was a baker at Jacksons and worked nights, but on his days (nights) off he would not go into the shelter, he would stand in the door. A the blast from the bomb on 19th blew him right down the hallway into the bathroom. He always went in the shelter after that. I was born in 12th and lived until joining up on the corner of 33rd and Greenwood. I have posted this before. https://untoldhull.org/1001-SylviaUtley
