Hi Kelly
They changed Alma Rod to Doric Road, I suspect because of the war. So we moved to Doric Road about 1939 (I guess). The plaque on the wall said Doric Road formerly Alma Road. So we lived at number 29 Doric Road. It was a cul de sac and at the bottom of the cul de sac was a place called Alma Wharf. We were all young kids and would play outside and annoy the workmen in the wharf. This wharf opened out onto the canal at the back. I went to Cranbrook School which was just a few minutes away.
Best wishes Ruby
