The pair of semis next to the field gate above that close were built in the mid fifties when the Fram was still operating.
We moved into Cornelly Street in about 1967 I think it was. I can recall playing in the dug out foundations that they had made for the new housing over the Fram.
Colwinstone Street and Aberporth Road in particular were such long stretches; I used to hate to have to walk up them, seemed to take an eternity when you were a kid.
I always used to try and give Caldy Road a wide berth too - some right nutcases living in those prefab houses!
