I used to live in Taunton Avenue but up the Bodmin Avenue end. Near the bus terminus. Went to Woodfields Infants and Juniors. Bit of a shame things got demolished but I guess they needed to find somewhere to live for us baby boomers! Quite significant though they only provided a secondary modern for the Whitleigh area. I guess they thought the 11plus was beyond us!

We used to live in Taunton Avenue too (297) - both my brothers were born there (at home). Not me: I was born in Station Road in Keyham (Liam from Keyham was a moniker given to me by a school-friend ... which I think works better than if I was born in Leigham: Liam from Leigham would sound ... silly).

I've had it for a few years, but used an enhancement and colorised app, and it's come up lovely. Most don't, but some really come out well.

Like this one of Mutley Plain.

Only just caught up with this. What beautiful street lamps. We’re they common throughout Plymouth in the fifties?

My dear old Mum used to be a dinner lady working in the kitchen at Woodfield Infants/Junior. Your dessert of a round shortbread biscuit, with glace cherry on the top, floating on a sea of pink custard could well have been served to you by her

Living in Dorchester Avenue I went to Whitleigh Infants/Junior but had some great mates that went to Woodfield.

I remember the days has it past above plymouth and you hear the booms as it broke the speed of sound. My step dad at the time told me it was concord was only 13 good times!
