NOT long ago we featured a picture of Jockey's Row and Silver Street in Weymouth.

We were delighted to hear from Anna Owen of Weymouth, who got in touch to let us know that her grandmother, the late Annie Owen, her parents and her great great aunt Liz lived in both these streets in the early 1900s.

Anna said: "Grandma was just a small child at the time. Times were very hard then, but Grandma told me many stories of her time there and they were always happy.

"The houses were demolished in the 1930s, but grandma and her family had already moved on.

"My great grandpa Albert Thomas opened a grocery and sweet shop at 32 Chickerell Road, which eventually became Whatley's sweet shop, which some people may remember.

"When he retired, great grandpa Albert, grandma's mother Martha and my Ggrandma moved to 123 Chickerell Road, where my grandma looked after her parents until their deaths.

"A First World War widow in 1918, grandma later married Jack Owen who was a fireman.

"They lived at 123 until they passed away. They were a very well known couple and very popular and they lived a very happy life for many years."

Anna added that her grandmother never had any pictures of Jockey's Row or Silver Street, so it was lovely for her to see the picture all these years later.
