My Grandma (Joyce Nye - later Joyce Lewis) and her family grew up in Meadvale. Her brother is called Ron (still alive) and her sister was called Kath. Their father ran a Butchers shop at either 36 or 38 Somerset Road, which I believe is the building standing in the centre of this picture. The family all lived here throughout the war years. It is interesting to see that this Butchers was once called E. Peters. I wonder if my Great Grandfather ran the business for E. Peters at this time, or if he bought it and changed the name to his? I will have to ask my Grandma. Either way the family lived upstairs. Do you have any more photographs of this building please? My grandma is now 96 years old and lives in a care home in Much Wenlock, Shropshire. She is stone deaf and we have trouble communicating with her now. To be able to show her these pictures of Meadvale with more clarity would be fantastic. She lost her father when she was in her ealy 20's, and when married, sometime in the 1950's, she moved to Bridgnorth, Shropshire where she started her own family. She often talks about Meadvale. Thank you.
