Oldham Garden Suburb Association.

I moved to Green Lane number 58 when I was 4 in 1938 and lived there until 1961. My parents Eric and Violet Bailey stayed till 1970.

My sister who was a year older than me was called June.

We loved being in the Rose Queen and had lots of friends in it too. Two of my friends I am still in touch with today and see each other regularly; they are Eric Flint from Croft Brow and Thomas Wilkinson from Rising Lane Close.

I will try to upload some photos from our early days in The Suburbs.
