I'm after some information and maybe photos of a property my father called 'the bank house'. The bank in question was probably a NatWest bank as that was the type of bank my grandfather was a manager of. My father was born in the bank house (ie the house/flat behind/over the bank) and the building stood across the street from St Mary's church. Does anyone have any pictures of the house? Is it still standing (unlikely, I know)? Is there somewhere I could get any further information in my research?
I am presuming my father was christened at St Mary's, so can anyone tell me what happened to the records? He was definitely christened, but I'm not certain of the church. When he was four years old, the family moved to Oxford Road and attended Christ Church, but he was christened before that

Meteorites in Stamford Park
I have just been reading the Memories page and have been laughing and crying.
I was born in Cockbrook, 60 St. James St., 1944, and Mum, Dad and I emigrated to Sth. Aust. 2 day after the Coronation on the 4th June 1953.
When I saw the words to 'We are the two Ashton Mashers', I could hear my Mum & Dad singing it. They are both gone now.
Also Doris Prince took me back to St Gabriel's school "I hated the codliver oil (yuk I can taste it now)".
I have so many memories this is just a small one! When I used to go to Stamford Park I used to start running from the main gate in the hope that I would be able to jump on top of the 'huge' balls (the meteorites) that were on the path ahead. Imagine my suprise when I finally visited there in 1992 to find that they weren't so big after all I can now sit on them!
