This was real money..before we were collared to join the rest of them! I would hazard a guess at 1963 |

1967 - my original guess wasn't as wild as I thought. |

My guess was also around 1968, My first house in West Street cost £2,750 in 1967. I had as much trouble finding the deposit (10%) and getting a mortgage and making the payments as young first timers do to-day. |

Think we all did. Inflation increased the numbers but house prices based on % of income do make it almost impossible for first timers today. Back then starter homes were just over 3 X average pay (median). |

My parents bought their first house in Groveland Road, Speen in December 1968. It cost £4,695. |
