Families who lived in Birkside Road

I remember Donald Diskin and his  sister Ann who lived opposite us.

A couple of door up lived the Clarke family (Molly and Michael and their 4 0r 5 kids. Michael , I have been in contact on Friends Reunited. Despite wearing a leg caliper Michael was our reserve goalie. Opposite them were a family called Corbett and farther down there was a family of Weirs, the mum was called May and she had someone at a party at her house playing a guitar and that’s what got me hooked on guitars some 55 years ago.

There was a family at the end of our road called Johnson and Harry was about our age 61
