Terry Morrison lived at 75 Layerthorpe (Marian’s fruit shop) from 1956-1969:

We lived behind the shop, there was a cellar , and above was a living room with a small scullery, above the shop was a front room with a bedroom at the back, up another floor were two more bedrooms. We had a small back yard with outside toilet. The views from my top back bedroom was the gas omiters i could see the old county hospital and osis scrap yard. In the winter our windows had ice on the insides I would get dressed for school in front of the fire down stairs which my mum would light first thing every day.
