High Street 1923
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I lived here from 1962-1969 with my two sisters and my mum, Rita Oldfield, who was the owner and the secretary of the LVA at the time. It was still used by the Paras in those days. I have a lot of happy memories. I went to St Michaels C of E Secondary Modern School and remember going to the Aldershot Lido in the schoool holidays, and seeing lots of famous live bands and artists at the local cinemas. Our dog had his photo on the front of the Aldershot News as he liked to march in front of all the parading bands.

I remember those days, I worked around the corner for Hiscocks Butchers in Upper Union Street, and saw many famous bands at the ABC (Ritz). The lido would be packed during the summer, happy days!
