The first house is now a scrap yard, it was (the scrap yard) featured as a BBC fly on the wall series a few years ago.
The home I spent my teenage years in, is on a really rough estate so I’m happy enough not to live there anymore.  |

"Yes. It was like the Chatsworth estate when I lived there but has been gentrified now and the houses cost a fortune"
I must be thinking about a rather different Chatsworth estate. If you 'gentrified' that any further it would be Versailles. |

Yes. You’ve got a lot to learn. |

Did it get better after you moved away? "
Well… technically that was what I said |

I have recently had that very option
Too many memories in that house
Plus it would never feel like my own even with renovations
I wouldn't want to live in a shrine to my youth or to my parents |

I was actually born in the house I grew up in so it has a lot of memories for me. I have gone out of my way to drive past it and sometimes thought to knock on the door and ask to see it.But it has been gutted and fully modernised so in reality there is nothing there for me. |

Always very happy to be taught.  |

I live 5 miles away from my childhood home. My son lives 3 buildings away from the hospital I was born in.
I live in the next county over to where my ansestors lived in going back to 1880's. I'd say, I've never moved.  |

To the house my mum and step-dad lived in? No. I only moved out when I was 27 anyway.
I’d move to my Nan and gramps old house, but it wouldn’t be the same without all the old neighbours not being alive anymore. It wasn’t just the house that made it homely, it was knowing half the Street as well. |

It was a lovely house but a not so good area. My sister did buy the house and was there for a good while but was pleased to get back out of the area again in the end. Poor old house. |

Which one? We were moved around so much that I don't have any specific attachment to one place, especially not as a child/young person. The longest I've lived anywhere is the house we've just moved out of (14.5yr) and although I like the area, I'm not so attached to it. |

Alicante, Spain. (Sometimes in Wales) |
We moved around a lot when I was a kid, so no attachment to where I was born.
However, I LOVE my current house and have no intention of going anywhere until I leave with a blanket over my face.

No
1st house back to back didnt get to see much there.
2nd house much better memories there and local allotment we had as well.
Ive been back in the area so ive seen the changes to that area, seen the alotment and its a craphole with smashed up units. as they wanted to build a mosque on it.
Its now replaced with food thrown on the streets, rat infested area.
Many houses going into disrepair while owners try to claim grants on them houses.
Ive actually worked on 100+ houses in that area as well.
On the street signs in that area it has whites out blacks in wrote on them. |

Yes but no , I loved the place but what made it special was my family and the neighbourhood children.
They have long moved on, the memories lives on in my mind so there’s no need to move back in.
And there would be the small matter to move country  |

Not a chance. Was a lovely piece of suburbia when I was grown up, more like a ghetto now 
Such a shame.
Where I live now is the type of place I always wanted to live in. |

About 10 years ago I tried to buy the house I grew up in from my spitefull sister, so yes I would have considered moving back.
Now, after that incident. No, I wouldn't. The place has changed, everything I remebered growing up has gone. |

Sure, I still own it fond memories within that street and some folk still living their. But doubt it would be for long because I know where I am now it's very quiet and I love peace and quiet besides the odd cock crowing or cow mooing |

No. My parents and brother still live there. The area is great. The garden is fantastic, but the house is an awkward shape and difficult to heat. It's always cold there however much they keep the heating on. |

My parents still live there now, they bought it new and we were the first on the street to move in and they’ve never moved. It was so great growing up on a building estate without health and safety rules hehe
It’s such a lovely town and I would love to live there again but prices just got ridiculous and i had to go where I could afford. |

I grew up in one of the most deprived areas in the country at the time and although it's a little better these days it still is a rough and tough place to live but I would happily go back there to the house I grew up in.

Only have happy memories of where I grew up and it's less than 10 miles from where I live now.
I owned the house I grew up in and it had been in the family since it was built in the 1930s but had to sell it last year because I couldn't afford the work required to bring it up to date.
Toughest decision I've ever had to make. |

I moved home 2 years ago, after 27 years away. Live 5 mins walk away from childhood home and about the same from my parents and siblings. (Except for youngest bro who moved in and stole the big bedroom) |
