Big toe stuck in the drain...lol
I remember this paddling pool so well, when I was about 8 years old I would be there with my nana {in fact in looks like me in the pic}. She would sit on the bench in the pic and eat her rich tea biscuits. I begged her to let me swim every time we were there, I would mostly paddle... [more]

Not something that would happen today with any degree of safety, a gentleman poses for the camera in the middle of the street. The timbered building on the left, occupied at the time by Barclays Bank, was originally built with plastered upper walls and gables, later exposed to give the building a mock Tudor flavour.
