PRINT- _ POLLARD STREET - NOV 5th 1954

At 13 Sheila and her family moved (temporarily! but never went back to 3 Lavington Rd) to Pollard St where Sheila's Mam (at the request of her Dad's Sister Barbara)helped nurse her Dad's Brother David who was dying of cancer.. The terrace house was dark as Barbara would not allowed ANY updates or alterations (like light wallpaper/paint) to her long passed "MOTHERS" house. Sheila Mam thoughtfully gave her the attic to use as a bedroom/studio and here she was free to draw her paint her life....here she could study the clouds and skyline AND the life of the Street below- Pollard street was famed for it's HUGE bonfire set up on a piece of waste bomb damaged land.. Sheila remembers it well as that night her right thumb was burnt on a fire work and has NEVER regained the skin properly.
