My name is David Lowe, I was born in the front room of the upstairs of 22 Priory Avenue in 1949, the house was divided into two flats upstairs and downstairs, even the garden was split in two, this can be seen in maps of the time on modern day sites, our family was mum & dad Kenneth & Elsie and my older sister Eileen, down stairs lived Mr& Mrs Caldecott who had no children.
