THE ‘SQUAT’, WISETON ROAD One of my most cherished memories is living in a scruffy student house on Wiseton Road near Endcliffe Park in my second year. In pre-internet 1992, we found it by knocking on the door and asking the students living there if we could move in after they’d moved out. Despite having ‘Squat’ graffitied above the door, it was the most brilliant house. We had so much fun there.
