Born here, long before the A63 "Clive Sullivan Way" was built. Strickland Street (opposite Albert Dock) HULL.

I was born on a door that my father and his brother had hastily removed from upstairs and taken to the basement of our house in Tunbridge Wells during an air raid in WWII. I don't have any pictures of the house since Herman Goering ensured that it no longer exists. I did once attempt to at least find the street, but by then Mum and Dad couldn't remember exactly where it was so that was a failure.
Apparently my delivery was rapid, which my Dad always ascribed to the air raid. "Nothing like a few bombs nearby to shift the little bugger!" he was fond of saying before being hospitalised again by Mum!:D |
Walthamstow, London E.17. I have been told by my cousin that I would need a visa or a dispensation from the local Imam to stop by and snap a photo of the house I was born in, so sorry, no photo.

Here's my place of birth...not that there's ever been any Seventh day adventism in the family, just that it was a well regarded maternity hospital once upon a time.

Front upstairs bedroom 32 Leeds St, Sandown, Isle of Wight, September 1940 so I guess the Battle of Britain was taking place overhead, but I can't remember that. A few kms from where the other end of my life is taking place in Kingdom of Tonga, South Pacific. Still proud to be a Caulkhead.

No picture but No.72, Birchington Ave, South Shields, Right near St Oswins church. I was such an ugly baby, the midwife slapped my dad!

I was born just a bit left of centre, where I have remained ever since.

The one with the gravel front (when I was there it had a privet hedge and a gate), the bedroom with the bay window.
My sister was well pleased - she got the day off school. :) |
Myself, brother and sister and all my cousins were born in the same bed overlooking the Firth of Forth in the back room at 41 Edinburgh road Musselburgh. That was over a time frame from 1934/ 40. A significant number of Grants still live in that small stretch of road including 41.
