Station Road Early 1950's

The Town Library was located across the road from Burgess' news agent/bookstore, the source of my Tiger and Eagle weekly comics - as a young library member I plowed my way along the Biggles Air Ace library shelves, and through the Enid Blighton's Adventure series which my brothers also shared with me - these books sparked our young imaginations and no doubt were the inspiration of many of our adventures - there was a WW2 bomb shelter in front of the library, a real eye-sore - as a kid I was dared, and went inside but it stank of things better not described, and was a repository of every broken bottle in town - then the shelter was sealed up and eventually broken up and removed.
