Clem Attlee Court
I moved here with my parents in - I think - 1959 from a shared council flat (remember them?) It was new at the time. We had maisonette 179 on the 7th & 8th floors and I was impressed (age 8) at being able to go downstairs to the library without going outside. I seem to remember a laundrette on the ground floor too.We escaped about 18 months later as the concrete was still damp from construction (much mildew and my Mum's rheumatics) and the underfloor heating was too inefficient to deal with it.
I still remember loving the views, though...

I remember going to Critchelows corner shop to get my sweets before I went to school, I also remember walking across the fields with my brother to get to Blurton Road Chemist because that was the only one in Blurton at the time to get my mums prescription, we used to buy a liquorice root stick to eat on the way back we always went back via the brook so we could jump it Happy Days!!!!

I remember my Grandmother, May Gray and Pop my Grandfather, William Gray, used to go to the Pavilion Theatre which is now, I think, the Cinema over the beach at Redcar. She used to watch a man called Billy Breem who later became Larry Grayson there. His catch phrase, "Shut that door" came about when the back stage door was open. He turned round and said "Shut that Door". Little did he know that it would later be his catch phrase. He used to go to tea with my Grandma and Pop in Ings Road. I wrote to him when he was famous and his letter proved he remembered my Grandparents. I remember going to watch a Disney cartoon in the cinema which was then next but one to Marks and Spencers.
