Do you live near where you did when you were 14?

I was born and raised in Sutton Coldfield and lived near Sutton Park and we moved to Wylde Green and I went to school in Sutton and Four Oaks. We then moved to Uttoxeter, Stafford, Dudley and now Sheffield, although we are nearer to Worksop and live in a village. So, hmm I don't think I am anywhere near where I was when I was 14. I still love Sutton Coldfield but didn't recognise it when we went to visit a few years ago. Many happy memories of where I was when I was 14 though.

I'm about 5 miles from where I lived at age 14, and less than 10 from where I was born, and my parents were born.

I am now about 25 miles from birthplace & where I was at 14. In between went to Africa and NE England & subsequently lived in London SE5, SE22, SW19 and SW20 until July 2011 when we moved here to mid Surrey.
My daughters also 25 miles form where they were at 14, OH probably 30 miles as he lived in London SW18 at 14!

Now living 3 miles from where I was born and 2 from where mr.glamma born,moved to Morganporth nr.New Quay and lived there for 2 yrs then back to Wirral for over 30yrs off to Spain for nearly 10yrs and now back where we started.

15 miles.

Currently living about 30 miles from where I did when I was 14 (not very far from you Gorki ) We spent 24 years in Cornwall but eventually gave up the unequal struggle to make a living there and came up to Berkshire. Prior to Cornwall I'd only moved a couple of miles from home.

Nope! Thank goodness.

I live exactly 8.5 miles from where I did when I was 14.

I was born in a hospital near Sheffield, lived at Hoyland then Elsecar, both just outside Barnsley, till I was nearly 13, then moved across the Pennines to live with my grandma in Rochdale, which is where I was aged 14, then 2 years after we married we moved a mile or so away to Heywood, then almost 36 years ago we came to live in Lincolnshire, where we are now. Therefore, I`m about 150 miles from where I was aged 14.

Before that age, and in between times, up and down the UK. Settled here again, 10 miles away from the village where I lived when I was 14.

Don't worry. Every lock has been changed on the house and a new alarm has been installed so she will not get in.

London born and bred, although quite widely travelled, and for many of my adult years I lived within 10 miles of my family home. Three years ago I moved up to Darlington in the North-east as part of my plan for the Great Upheaval. Mr absent was born in Darlington and lived here until he was 20, when he moved down to London, so it was quite strange for him to return. His Mum was still alive when we came here (she died towards the end of last year at the grand old age of 93 and a very important quarter) and there are still lots of brothers and sisters locally. However, the Great Upheaval – otherwise described as emigration to New Zealand – is due to happen on 10 May. Then I shall be living about as far away from where I lived when I was 14 as it's possible to be.

I live around six miles away from where I lived at 14. This is the furthest I've ever lived from where I was born. Although I lived at several addresses over the years I never moved out of a 3 mile radius until I was 47 and moved here.

anno my late oh was born in Ardrossan.
I was born in Westbromwich and now live just outside Bristol.

I live in Berkshire about 8 miles from where I was born in Surrey but about 60 miles from where I lived at 14 (Wiltshire) I have lived in Australia in between though.

Hi Soop

I know of Streetley.
I do not know exactly where it starts and finishes.
I had a friend in Foley Road West some years ago but sadly he has now passed away.
I understand when I drive up the Chester Road to the Old Irish Harp for a meal occasionally I go through Streetly.

I'm about an hour and a quarter's drive away from where I was fetched up (as my Dad used to say - mostly to wind up my Mother!), and I'll be popping in there later this month as my brother still lives there.

I live less than 3 miles from were I grew up, all my siblings have moved away but I am still here and very happy about that. I used to hate being away from home, I am not as bad now.

I live about 4 miles from where i lived at 14 x

I live about 2,000 miles from where I lived when I was 14 years old, and even further from there earlier in my life. In fact except for the present, now I live about 150 miles from the place where I was born.

Around 300 miles! I was born in the house on the coast of Ayrshire where we lived until I was 17. Then my father's job took us over towards Edinburgh and I went to University in St Andrews, since when I've lived in Kenya and several different addresses in England - now NE Cheshire. I haven't lived in Scotland since I was 24.

I live within 6 miles of where I lived at 14, this is the furthest away I've ever lived from my childhood home.. apart from my son all my family live within a few miles too.

That dammed house again!

I live 35 miles from where I lived aged 14. From 21 -31 I lived 5 miles further up the A41 (the New Chester Road). At aged 32 I moved to my present home I'm very happy here.

We moved because DHs employment situation was precarious and he was offered a permanent job. I would have found it a wrench to leave my parents had they been alive then but I was happy to wave goodbye to my dragon of a mil having lived in the next road to her for the first 11 years of my married life.

I live only 5 miles from where I lived when I was 14. As I wrote on another thread, by my 21 birthday I had had 21 permanent addresses, attended 10 schools and lived in 6 countries, and I would add 7 different locations in the UK.

Why do I live where I do now? Well, after university I got my first job in London. I married someone whose work involved a lot of travel in this country and abroad, this meant living somewhere with easy access to Heathrow and Gatwick and tyrains to London, so we bought a house in south east Berkshire.

DC reached 11 and I was returning to work full time and work and having to run a family taxi service because we lived in a rural area meant we moved to a house close to the centre of Reading where the children could get around on public transport..

With children independent we decided to move somewhere quieter, we have also always hankered to buy a really old house in need of restoration, but DH was still working so still had to be able to get to airports and trains to London. This pushed us to north west Berkshire and a house that just happens to be 5 miles from where I lived when I was 14.
