  • I love the twittens in this area, there are quite a few. They make a nice walk on a warm summer evening, with views not normally seen. Plenty of old garden walls with beautiful overhanging foliage, and trying to guess what the gardens are like behind them.

  • My Mum always called it the alley, she lived in Railway Street until 1939.

  • I lived at Terminus Road for years, Our House has been knocked down now and a new house stands there, I remember the alleyway, loved growing up there. Shame the house is gone-I would love to see photos of the old place. It was no 31 top end with lovely views of the downs, but over the years the view got less with the development of places being built on. A lot of fond memories. I think our back wall garden is still there-I miss the old place, rest in peace

  • I remember back in the early 60s there was a lorry company called Stapleton Brothers.  It was just off Clifton Street where my parents lived somewhere around the 1940s to 1950s.
