Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I was born in Kings Road in 1964, and have fond memories of Cowplain.
My parents still live there but I have moved to the other side of the world (New Zealand).
The phone box in the picture was used to phone would be girlfriends, as the home phone was not very private, many a 2p coin was lost in there.
I don't remember the concrete plant pots having plants in they were filled with concrete at some stage.
I do remember Martins newsagents just past Pinks in the photo and then a Bank on the corner of Kings Road.
Its great to see the photos, I wish I could jump in and revisit good OLD Cowplain.
