Langold has so many... [more]

The shop behind where the car is parked used to belong to my mother, Freda Davies who still lives in Worksop. She took over from the Wards and the Hopkinsons took over from us. I lived at this shop for several years whilst I attended King Edward V1 Grammar School at Retford. I well remember the immediate surroundings of this photograph.... [more]

King Street is the location of the former market place, which was built over many years ago. Also along here is the timber-framed Saracen's Head. In 1646 it was known as the King's Arms; it was here that Charles I spent his last hours of freedom before surrendering to the Scots.
