    Preferably in Merlin Cresc, Buckingham Rd area would you PM me?

    No big deal I just have some nostalgia type questions about what the area I grew up in is like now.

    I had a girlfriend called Sheila in the 70's and I think she lived in Buckingham Road?

    I'd left by the 60s.

    Buckingham Road (or more accuratley the triangle where Buckingham Rod and Merlin Cresc met) was wgere we played football every night after school, even "under floodlights" some nights taking advantage of the lamp post to play long after dark.

    Yes but the images of the area are dated plus some of my questions relate to Chandos Rec and streetview doesn't show that and Google Earth etc just doesn't have enough detail.
