I can't remember the Silver Jubilee of George V because I'd be three then, but I can remember when I must have been four before I started school. I can remember sitting on the front door step looking up the street where I could just see the end of Stanley Street which was concreted and all the older kids played there and wishing I was older so I could cross the road. Our street Ogden Lane was a bus route and I was forbidden to cross the road. I started school at Varna Street when I was five, I remember that well. It was very traumatic although the teacher was a lovely lady. I thwqeamed all day. Big soft sod.
