It was the theme for Listen With Mother broadcast on the Light Programme for fifteen minutes every weekday afternoon at 1.45, just before Woman's Hour, and was a programme of stories, songs and nursery rhymes (often sung by George Dixon) for children under five (and their mothers). At its peak, it had an audience of over a million. The theme music, which became synonymous with the programme, was the Berceuse from Gabriel Fauré's Dolly Suite for piano duet, Op. 56.
Number 49 was at the bottom, between the Cartwrights and Mrs France in my day. Number 8 was on the other side, next door to the Richardson's, on then other side near the top.
