When we lived in Ommanney Road, I had  pair of rollerskates for Christmas.  I loved my skates and spent many happy hours going up and down the road with my friends.  Mr Egan’s garage on one side of the road had a nice slope in front of it, and towards the top on the other side was Bern Haward’s shed with an even bigger slope. I remember Lou Pitman coming out of her front door one day, shouting at me that if I went past her house again she would throw a bucket of water over me.  I expect I stayed on my side of the road for a while after that.
