I used to live next door to Angela and her family
My family were the Baldwin’s
Mum Floss, Dad John (Arthur ) Ann, Michael, Caroline, and Derek
We lived at 13 the Glebe.
When my brother Derek was killed in a motorcycle accident aged just 16
Mum said we must change the number so she put an A after the 13
Then later named our house Tower View
I would love to hear from anyone who remembers me or my family.
