Where Were You Born ?.

I was born in Glasgow, in a room and kitchen, directly above a fish and chip shop.
I shared the room and kitchen with another 2 children, my brothers, and also 3 adults,
Maw, Paw, and Grannie.

I remember whatever my mother cooked the house was Stinking with Fish and Chips,wafting through the floor boards..

I think Jesus had more space in a stable in Bethlehem than I had in my Room and Kitchen..

What are your memories of where you were born. ?..

 

That's so funny, I remember most of those things.... Radio Rentals... Who didn't know about them then

 

Apple Blossom,

You know when you say " I remember most of those things"........

Does that mean you used to live with FC

 

I was born in a third storey, one bedroom flat overlooking Roker Beach Sunderland
Now the house is available for offers over £355k :-)

I remember nothing about it, though I often when on my visits to home, drive past and gaze in a wondering way (about once a year)

I was born in a Victorian two up two down, with the usual, "breakyourneck" staircase.
It didn't have a bathroom, the bath was in the scullery with a wooden top over it, used as work space most of the time, filling it was via an old "copper", that was put on to boil.

It had a small yard, and a "right of way" crossed the garden, which allowed other access to the backs of their houses .
Dont remember it being cold as such, as there was a door leading to a very dingy cellar full of coal.
But I was only there until I was 3, its still there now.

 

I was born in the middle of the Irish Sea on New Years Eve at 5 to Midnight!

 

I was born at the first nhs hospital! (Park Hospital/Trafford)
Lancashire lass, resided in Central Manchester as a young 'un now in Cheshire at the border of Lancashire and Derbyshire.
Still living in a house with the killer staircase (saves on Gym membership). Progressed along the way from outside loo/ no bath and frost on the inside of windows in winter to all mod cons. Appreciate them all the more for the waiting!
I think this is why I like camping, it takes me back to a childhood of not having everything literally on tap!
Happy days!

 

Billinge hospital near Wigan! It seems like everyone i ever met was born in Billinge or knew someone who was?!

 

Billinge hospital is no more @Prkns ! Knocked down quite a few years ago to build 5 bedroom houses.
I was born at home in a very cold 1950s winter . We lived in a terraced house in what was then quite a nice area. Seems to be full off asylum seekers now.
I have gradually moved west from my birthplace at a rate off 176 yards per year

 

Billinge Hospital near Wigan, lived in a terraced house around the corner from Bulldog Tools.
Lancashire Lad born and bred, now living in Stockport
Pie Eater through and through

 

I know @HarryS, I have a lot of friends and family in Wigan, born, bred and part raised in Swinley and Standish. There's a slight feeling of sadness knowing that Billinge doesn't exist anymore.
