  I lived at number 2 Rathbane Road until i was 8, my grandparents lived at 1 Elm Place then, 4 Elm Place, i had a very happy childhood, with great memories growing up here. Even coming back on holidays we always got a great reception, and the children would play with us like we had never left. The worst my grandfather ever said of the the place was when he lived at 1 Elm PLace, and the kids would sit up on the wall in his front garden and chat too loudly of an evening, that and no longer being able to manage the larger garden was behind him moving to number 4. Well if thats the worst it was then some folks have lead very quite sheltered lives....lucky you ;) The area wasn't the poshest, but the people would give you the bread out of their mouths, what people had they shared, and you knew you could always knock a neighbours door in need. Don't know many places like that today.
