More about this scene

This monumental fountain in the centre of St James Square was built in memory of the Lawson Tancred family, and stands on the site of the former parish church of St James, now moved to Church Lane. Note the cobbled surface of the square, and the model windmill on the frontage of the Windmill Café on the right.

I was born in Annes Cafe, Boroughbridge in 1940 (we were lodging there). Dad used to have a few beers in the Crown and the Three Greyhounds during WW2. Mum and Dad told me they used to go "skinny dipping" in the "fish ladders?" We moved from Boroughbridge to Merseyside sometime between 1940 and 1945 I will have to research exactly when. Does anyone where the "fish ladders" are or were?
