I used to live on glossop terrace with my mum janet clipsham. My grandma Brenda and her husband Jimmy lived on rider road and my grandma owned the fish and chip shop at the far end of rider road in this picture. I remember the paper shop and the gentleman that owned it had a very white and ellaborate curly mustash and always had his fancy pipe hanging out of his side of his mouth. Towards the closest part of rider road on the picture a little bit down a hill was a bakers too.
