Greenhouse Road was the home of my early childhood and remains so until we moved to Thorne Road in 1964.  My dad had a workshop at the back of the garage and it was an immaculate example of a model engineers palace.

The images below were actually takin in his Bournemouth workshop, but the layout was identicle.

At 27 Greenhouse Road [next door} lived Tom and Jean Webster.  He was responsible for my interest in gardens and Jean for Music.  Each Sunday morning I would head off theough a hole in the fence to have morning coffee, listen to the Mikado and go and help in the garden.  The gingham custains would open and I would go around.  My mum worked most Sundays at Fairfield nursingf home as a theatre sister.
