I remember playing in the street – in the road – it was fine. There were hardly any cars about then in the 1950’s – not in St Pauls anyway! Only the rich people had cars then, my dad had a motorbike with a sidecar on it. When I was a teenager I used to roller skate down to Mauds Elm, near Swindon Road and back. My sister & I used to walk to Swindon Village via the old tip & over the railway line – it was great fun & we were always safe.
