Growing up in Birstall in the sixties
My memory of the market square was catching the bus in in the middle of the square to go to Batley and Dewsbury on Saturday shopping with my mother. My mother buying fresh tripe from a blue trailer parked in the square across from Bond Street. Living on The Mount (the houses have been torn down now) and going to primary school on Raikes Lane then walking up and down the big hill on Middlegate to school that was on Kirkgate.
My grandfather delivering fresh eggs.
Looking at these old pictures brings back a lot of memories of my life there, before I left England in 1967. I have never returned but hope to do so sometime in the next few years.
