Broadway Has Not Changed ! Though Woollies Has Gone.

A Memory of Didcot.

My Family lived here in 1955.- Dad worked in Army Police, Mum was a Housewife.

I remember riding on the back of my Mum"s bike - playing near the woods with my sister (prohibited!) - travelling on the last steam train to Wallingford, and having to walk 1/2 mile to school every day along Park Road (past the famous Tin Peas Factory). But the Best memory was buying my 1st 7 inch record for 1 shilling and 2 pence called "Portrait of my Love" sang by Mat Munroe at-- where you ask? Woolworths of course ! Agh the good old 50"s.
