Brin next time I visit St Bede's churchyard I'll take a stroll up to Hartley Lane.

Monty, alas you will not be able to go down the Lane itself, it's now a scrapyard!

I found out in later life the reason why we moved was because the banking supporting the railway houses was eroding pretty fast hence the move out and swift demolishing of them.

Do I class myself as a true towny having been born less than a mile from the town centre? Like Cocknees say there a true Landaner because they were born within 1 mile of the sound of Bow Bells? Ironic really as I was born in the suburb of Thornhill and now live on a road with the same name.

Interesting that the houses you lived in all seem to have collapsed! Yes you definitely qualify as a true towny - Lincsmiller lived not far from you on Chemist lane.
