I would have been 6 when this picture was taken, iwas born in Scotland Street & moved round the corner into Southover Street in January 1970 and I am still there to this day. I remember the bad snow of 1968 even though I was only very young, it was almost impossible to get up and down the hill with my Mum.

As you look down Southover Street the shop on the left was Mr and Mrs Pearson's newsagents, further down on the right you can see the little sub electric station fence and across the road from that is where Mr and Mrs Simpson's TV and radio shop door is on the corner of Hanover Terrace and Southover Street which was attached to the house that I lived in. If memory serves me right the shop on the right next to the pub was Stan's barbers where you got your hair cut and men could get a shave and brush up. The wall on the left corner of Newhaven Street and Southover Street was the brewery. I can remember this being built after the pub on that corner was pulled down. If only I could turn back the clock of life they were very happy days of my life in that area. P.S the best snow was in 1963.
