Hi, Alyson.
I now realise I got the name wrong It should have been Michel not Peter.
Your dad at one time used to drive a Landrover which he parked at the
 top of the walk, we used to sit in the back as it was always open.
Michel and I once run wires from our prefab to yours along the fence so we could talk to each other! We also used to play cricket using the trees that lined the path in the park for stumps, god things you remember!
you must have been younger than Michel.
Regards, Barry.

Hi, After looking at the last photo I can confirm it was taken on Broadmere Drive at the top of the walk where I lived from 1953- 1960, when the prefabs were pulled down. I think there were 8 prefabs in each walk (out of shot to the right of the children) our prefab was 96 (Broadmere) It was last in the row and as kids we used to climb over the garden fence in the park. The estate was situated at Grand Lodge.
The telegraph pole just above the lads head was a regular meeting point!
With regards to the prefab shown in the distance It was occupied by a lady named Drew we used to have the bonfires in her garden on 5th November. Next door to her to the left was the Simpson family, Tommy was a great friend, If you continue on in the direction the car is pointing the road drops away into a circle which was a dead end for cars but there was a gate on the right that led into thee park.
Just where the car is parked there is another entrance on the right to another walk with another eight prefabs last one on the right was another friend Peter Stringfellow.
Well that’s brought back a few memories!! Shame there is no more photos.
