Re: Where did you hang out?
i'm sorry to hear Joan died she must only have been about 66 and yes she lived at 36 I'm almost sure i bumped into her around 1966 at a party and I think she was a nurse at that time but i might be wrong.

Re: Laygate
Laygate was not really my end of town but I did live in lodgings at the Chi from 1964 to 1968 and after a 4pm to midnight shift I used to walk from the pilot jetty to the Chi via western approach and some shots brought back memories, as a kid our Doctors and dentists were both in Laygate lane too, i...

Re: anyone know where in Shields Ridley Scott was born?
