I grew up in Garforth, a small dormitory town in Leeds which as a kid I assumed was some countryside village, due to how sheltered everything felt.
However, as I have got older and look back at those years I realise how simple things were back then, and how simple the town remains. In a bid to see what had changed since I was a little kid, I went back to the street I grew up in.
When I say grew up in, I went back to the street I spent the majority of my childhood, I lived on three different streets in the 20 years I lived in Garforth but one place feels the most like home. My street was a little confusing, I lived on Barleyhill Road (very Enid Blyton) which was actually a busy road in the town, but directly next to the road was a long avenue, known as Barleyhill Crescent.
