Hi Jack
i was born there in 1952 i think we moved out in 1958 however i do remember the pub that was on the corner and the food shop that was on the other corner.i am the youngest of six children that were born in lesly street. Sadly all our boys have died my sister would have better memories of the street then me .if the is anything specific you would like to know i could ask her.i also have memories of the rag and bone man who used to call to the street.also i have remembered a big family that lived there called the flanagans. the smiths and the gibbs family who have already been mentioned in the forum.
Back in them days people were very poor but in general the women help each other and would feed other children in the street if they could.
Best regard to you Winn
