  Simon Chalton Added: 10 Oct 2021 21:52 GMT | Duppas Hill Terrace 1963- 74 I’m 62 yrs old now but between the years 1963 and 1975 I lived at number 23 Duppas Hill Terrace. I had an absolutely idyllic childhood there and it broke my heart when the council ordered us out of our home to build the Ellis Davd flats there.The very large house overlooked the fire station and we used to watch them practice putting out fires in the blue tower which I believe is still there. I’m asking for your help because I cannot find anything on the internet or anywhere else (pictures, history of the house, who lived there) and I have been searching for many, many years now. Have you any idea where I might find any specific details or photos of Duppas Hill Terrace, number 23 and down the hill to where the subway was built. To this day it saddens me to know they knocked down this house, my extended family lived at the next house down which I think was number 25 and my best school friend John Childs the next and last house down at number 27. I miss those years so terribly and to coin a quote it seems they just disappeared like "tears in rain". Please, if you know of anywhere that might be able to help me in any way possible, would you be kind enough to get back to me. I would be eternally grateful. With the greatest of hope and thanks, Simon Harlow-Chalton. Reply |

She told a story of a schoolboy killed on the dock railway when walking to school. Apparently it was common for the kids to walk along the busy tracks serving the docks. Reply |
