Hi Norma,

You were asking about the names of people living near the Dickinsons. I’m not sure which year, but this is the residents in 1939. I can’t identify the two big men….

The two ladies were my grandads sisters, and Phil was his brother. I am pretty sure that that house never had electricity.

Yes, nice houses, basements too. It seems odd to think they were lighting gas mantles in the evening in the 1960s.
