I was born on Albert Street in 1936, so I have seen a few changes in Featherstone, I still live on Albert Street, I don't think I could live anywere else! Just a few houses down, nearer Station Lane, Station Lane was a lovely shopping place you could buy anything from paraffin and nails (Haikings) to food and fashshion, now it's all take-aways, Chinese and Indian, when I was a kid it was Mrs Good's fish shop, Louie Hails and May Lumbs, they knew how to cook fish n chips in them days. It was safe to go for long walks round the Hilly Fields and Blue Bell Woods with our jam butties and bottle of water, I wish it was like that now. Flo Willis (nee Shaw)
