    I was born in Northfield Nursing Home, (where Cemex House now stands) and lived at 35 Sheep Street until 1951. Number 35 was the single fronted shop behind the street lamp (gas powered in this picture and replaced by electric lights in the late 1940s). The shop was a Tailors and Outfitters started by my Great Grandfather.
