Acacia Avenue

“In 1965 we had quite a few bungalows. There’s about three at least been turned into houses, just in recent years. It was a quiet street, very few cars, lovely bungalows…so it’s got more crowded in the years that have gone by.”
“It was very very friendly when we were young. Christmases and New Years we’d spend in one another’s houses and everything.”

"Fascinating stuff - reminds me how old I'm getting - how many others remember Harry Worth and his window trick? I'd forgotten he lived in Acacia Avenue until I saw this!
PS - I've decided to renew my home insurance with the AA...but it's not in Acacia Avenue!"
