Have been going through some old family papers and found my dad's birth certificate which I have never seen before. Because he didn't get on with his father (I was never told why) I only met my grandfather a couple of times when I was very young. According to the certificate my father was born at 39 Hazel Road, Slade Green and I wondered if anyone might know if the house/road are still standing. As an aside, my grandfather's occupation is given as 'Locomotive Fireman', which could explain a lot!! Thanks.

    Thanks Tel. Being near the engine sheds makes sense: close to work for him.

    yeah one of my friends at the time, a boy called Desmond.....his Mum worked in the railway sheds cleaning trains, we used to go and help her, but spent most of the time pretending to drive the engines and train stock...
