To the memory of my father and for
Mother, Betty, Neil and Hugh - in the
hope that there’s enough to go round.
There was a real High Street. This isn’t it but this is meant in part to be an acknowledgement of the real one. For that reason I want to make it clear that at no point are any of the people in this book identifiable with the actual people who lived there. But I hope there survives in the book some of the spirit with which those people imbued the place.
