More about this scene

The NatWest (left) has not changed. The Central Café (facing us, left) has gone, to be replaced by New Look. The accountants Forrester Boyd & Co at 7 Corn Market next door have been replaced by Hanson's the bakers, and next door is now the Louth Vision Centre. After the entrance to the Market Hall (1866-67) comes Lunn Poly. Long established locally, Pocklingtons the bakers began in nearby Withern in 1924, and have been here since 1996.

A Selection of Memories from Louth

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Louth

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

The wages and conditions were good and I enjoyed my time there. It bought me my first guitar from Jesse Halls. I remember one Saturday asking off time off to play cricket for the school, not only did the manager give permission, but he proudly informed staff and customers alike how proud he was.
Joined th Brigade for the wrong reason; it had a good football team. We often travelled to Grimsby on the floor of Mr Meanwells Bedford Dormobile but inspite of the sickly feelings we arrived with, we usually won in spectacular style. In one match we were winning 15 - 0 at half time and the referee effectively stopped the game. I also enjoyed the weekly Youth Club with its record player and of course the snooker table. Happy days.
I started work here when I left school in July 1974 and worked here till it closed in Feb 1975.
I have fond memories of my Boys Brigade days in the huts at the rear of the chapel in Commercial Rd in the early 60s. Anyone out there with memories or photos would be please to hear from. Kind Regards, Dick Adams.
