Yep, that's the place.
With the high brick wall with broken glass cemented to the top so no one can climb over. I think it may have had barbed wire too .
What I most remember was the older men, gathering outside the nearby shop to play dominoes. They'd slam the tiles down with a CLACK that could be heard upstairs in the apartment.
OH, and the Concords flying overhead. Boy oh boy.
Small world indeed.
