Heckmondwike in The Early 1960s
I remember the market so well, it was the heart of Heckmondwike. You could buy anything from it, including clothes, meat and veg. The pork pies sold there were beautiful, and the beef dripping. I remember buying a dress from Rothery's stall, she let me take it home to try on. It was the height of fashion for me then, in black and white and very short too. I loved it.
So many memories oh Heckmondwike when I was growing up.

I lived on the Firthcliff esate in the 1960s. I went to White Lee School. I left in 1969 and went to work at Firths Mill in Heckmondwike. I left Heckmondwike in 1970 and now live in Skegness.
