FOR over half a century Kevin James lived just streets apart from the sister he never knew he had.
They even went to the same secondary school but cannot recall meeting each other.
Kevin and Hazel Farthing were separated as babies when their parents' marriage broke down in the 1950s.
Now Kevin, 56, of Rutland Place, Wombwelll, and Hazel have had a tearful reunion.
He said: "It's taken me a while to be able to speak, it's just overwhelming and the fact that we lived so close to each other for so long is unbelievable."
