The road to 2013 part 5

In May 1967 we moved again to Tipton (my parents taking charge of the Salvation Army corps there) in what was then Staffordshire.  We lived at 18 Furnace Parade.

The Tipton corps hall is now used as a factory.

One of my earliest memories is crossing a canal bridge in Tipton on the way to school.  My parents took a picture of me asleep on the settee at our house in Tipton.

In the summer of 1967 we holidayed in Blackpool, and there is a delightful picture of me riding on a "panda" at the funfair in Blackpool Tower.

 

On a sad note, my sister was born while we are at Tipton.  She wasn't officially named because she was still born.  The name my parents would have given a girl was Sandra Elizabeth, so as far as I am concerned my sister was Sandra Elizabeth even though she never breathed a breath.
