Denmark Road, Gloucester

In 1945, aged one, Gill's family moved to Gloucester when her father was appointed deputy clerk of Gloucestershire County Council. 

They lived in a house in Denmark Road in the city. One of Gill's early memories is of the bitter winter of 1947 when the snow was deep in the front garden.

The house had an exceptionally long back garden, with a greenhouse and sandpit.

Picture shows Gill's mother, Bea, sewing in the sitting room at the front of the house. This must have been quite early in their time in the house as the outlines of the previous owner's pictures and mirror are still clearly visible on the walls.

Gill is four in this picture, a Polyphoto taken with her bear, Binny.
