The Old Tram Bridge In Wartime
A Memory of Preston.
During WW2 as a young lad I lived in Ribblesdale Place and Avenham Colonnade and remember that the timber bridge decking was almost completely removed apart from a narrow walkway to hinder invading troop vehicles, After the war we used to visit a little timber shack next to the playing fields at the southern end of the bridge where Stanley Worden sold soft drinks and snacks. Seventy years on I still remember hot Vimto for 2d.!
