Grew up in Lennox Drive, eventually bought my parents house there until I moved to Covingham, which is where I am now (with a spell in Florida in between)

My mother in law is a cleaner at Mountford Manor and has been for over 20 years, she lives on Frobisher and has done for years...

Boring I know, but true all the same...

Yeah he did. I have seen pictures of him on the street as a teen. He has family still in Swindon and regularly goes to Holy Family church apparently.
My mother in law said he was there on Xmas eve

During my time served under miss Sands the headmistress of said infants and Mr. Brookes of said juniors, I never knew that....
Don't know if that is the Mr Brooks who was there in the 70s/early 80s, but that was my friend's dad.
