Queen's Park, The Main Entrance c1950
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I remember when I started school - I think it may have been Brierley Street, but I left Crewe in l956, aged 8, so I am not sure, but we lived on Nantwich Road in a flat above the Co-op. From the late 1940s my dad (Sydney Alston) used to work for Rolls-Royce as an upholsterer. I used to play every day after school in Queens Park, in the paddling pool with my spaniel Gracie (it was safe in those days) and I always took jam butties and that orange juice from the school clinic which was thick and in a glass bottle with a turquoise label and top and had to be diluted.
