1308 Walker Road.

A few of the photos on this page centre around number 1308 Walker Road as a request for a reader called Robert Miller, now living in Devon, who was born there in 1941 and lived there with his family. Robert was kind enough to send this photo of his grandmother standing in the doorway of no. 1308.
