Found this old piccy that was posted in the Visiter of the Clifton Rd Jubilee Party of 1977. I'm on it somewhere. It's a pity I can't post it in Hi-Res. I may try and split it and post it in sections.

Which end of Clifton Rd, Cypress or Butts Lane end was the pic taken?

thats a good question, my brother-in-law Eddie Sowerbutts lived at no 58 with his wife Betty & children Phillip & Linda, but i dont see them on here.

That is Butts Lane end. I can see my nan and her sisters on there!!

We had a big party at Victoria Methodist Church Sussex Road on that day. We dressed the children up even their prams. Spent hours sewing bunting etc. They still use the same bunting ( flags on tape) now, it was out on the trees etc 2 weeks ago.

I can see my friend,Robina Lewis and her brother Geoffrey. She lived near the station end with her Mum.Brenda and step dad,Eddie and also her step brother Simon Corfield.

We had one at the back of my sisters and her next door neighbours down Cemetery rd

Its outside number 109 I lived there until 1986 with my Mum and Dad ,

I can see my sister and late brother in law in the pic. They lived at no. 104 for many years.

This photo of Clifton Road was on an ebay auction recently.
It was unsold so I expect it will be relisted.

My grandma & grandad lived at No.98 from the 50's till the early 80's when they both passed away. I think I was at that street party but not sure ..

They would have known my sister and her family then, 2 doors down. She moved away around 1988. It's a small world.

Great pic......note the railway track set into Butts Lane for the coal trains from Hakfkrt Street sidings to the Crowlands gas works. I rode on the engine, both steam and later diesel many times as a boy.

Lucky you.Mr Hamble would have loved that.

Of course that end of Clifton road is a cul de sac now.
I visited that area as a child and remember fields and hills
on one side of Foul Lane.

Once I found a traveller family with baby in a caravan.
I took them cakes and toys.
