hi s i was interested to read of your research into Pickering st dwellings i until 1969/70 lived in these houses.They were beautiful red brick with lots of windows in the flats and to the stairwells We lived on the top floor of the first block in the street three flats per block as far as i can remember .On the ground floor to the entrance of the street was a little shop selling sweets, milk , fags and papers
  Our flat had a coal fire bed rm for dad and mum a living rm bed rm for me and my brother the kitchen was small with a toilet at the back of it .There was no hot running water sept for that heated on the cooker in a pot or kettle.Having mentioned the lack of modern facilities it was always a lovely place to live warm and cosy especially at christmas .Our rent was about ten shillings and six pence 65p in current money.
   The street had a great sense of community with most of the kids going to the school at the bottom end of pickering called Charles Lamb ages five- eleven we all played in the street at that time there was quite a lot of derelict buildings to explore and hide .We were the last family to leave the street as they were pulled down in 1970ish i remember those last few months as a ten and half year old looking at all the empty houses and not wanting to leave.
