Memories from Lorraine Brown nee Hills

I have just found out about this site from Facebook. I was born and bred in Morris Street and my parents lived there all their lives. It was just when I was looking thought the photos of Summer Street that I recognised Sheila Hazell. She lived opposite us ‘across the backsies’ and I had the hots for her brother, though I was probably only about 6. I remember going to stand outside the church to see her get married and she was always so pretty I wanted to be like her. Then I got the shock of my life in a photo taken in their family back garden, there was my old home! I have not lived in Swindon for many years but what lovely memories this brings. I may be able find some old photos as my mothers family the Dixons lived all over Rodbourne and my dad Bernard Hills used the working men’s clubs. Thank you so much for the memories.

    Hello Lorraine, nice to read your comments, I am that brother of Sheila’s.
    If you look at the Morris Street Club section of photos you will see a photo of your Dad

    Thanks Alan, I left Swindon when I was 17 and wondered if anyone would remember our family.
