Born here before any of this was built.

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.

constance st liverpool bottom cold water flat of what was called the landings railings on the next 2 floors.apptly called the landings in the middle of town 1941 cos thats were the bombs landed.site still has not been build on yet still waste ground

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!

Born 1950 in the back bedroom.

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.

A mining village, Ryhope, Co Durham 1942.

Hills Road, Cambridge 1943.

South Devon 1944
