What a fantastic film!
I lived in Downham as a child 1970s/80s. I remember Kay, my mum used to send me and my brother round there to pick up her wool. We lived over the butchers, which is now the sponge kitchen. happy memories...

Thank you very much for making this film , I was born in 1945 on Churchdown Rd. My Brother and I went to Downderry Infants & Juniors and then on to Downham Central school. When I was at Downderry I remember being taken by the School to see a film of Queen Elizabeths Coronation at the Splendid Cinema. I am very proud that I came from Downham and will always remember good times.

My WW1 widowed grandmother and five children were offered a house on Downham when they were being built but she refused as it was too far away in the country.
