We lived @ 52 Derwent Parade above Harry Fenton's outfitters. Mum work at Phillips sweet shop beside the stairs to the flats above. Other shops included Watts furniture, the Co Op, Woollies and the sensational , or so we thought, Sainsburys Happy days in a good community of people who remembered the privations of the East End. As my Nan said people had hearts now they have purses. We left for Nottinghsm in 1969.
