Ah but Steve, born in Winchester, grew up Gosport/Fareham,, Bridgemary to be exact,

We used to live at 166, Tukes Avenue, Bridgemary, Gosport, Hants. It was a brand new council house when we moved into it around 1950/51. I quite often look at it on Google Streetview. Loads and loads and loads of happy memories of that house, plus all the neighbours and their families. Happy Days.

I used to go to the former Bridgemary Secondary Modern School in Wych Lane. That's the ex school at the far end of Wych Lane,, near to the Wych Way Inn pub which is now a shop. My sister and her family live in Wych Lane too, near Kent Road. Small world. It'll be good seeing you outside 166, Tukes Ave.

yep lol nice sunny day for the carboot that was just up the road and I had enough time for a quick pic I just hoped I got the number right because I done it from memory it looks like a nice house

Wow,, cheers for that Steve, as good as your word as Roy said. Yep, that house, 166, Tukes Avenue, Bridgemary, was where we lived from about 1951/52, until 1967. It still looks good today. It was brand new when we moved in. I've seen it a good few times when we've been down there. My sister and her family l've just around the corner in Wych Lane.
As i said, i also Google Earth it now and again. From the outside, it hasn't changed a bit, apart from the new windows/door, front garden which had a hedge around it, and a lawn. All the walls inside were solid and plastered. The outside walls are facing brick, with tyrolean finish above. There was no central heating then, just a small coke fire in the dining room which heated the water for the bath etc. In the living room, we had a coal fire, and also a small coal fire in the bedroom above the living room. We did have gas, but only for the cooker. They were great days ,we all had very little or nothing, but we were all happy.
Thanks again Steve..
