Shepshed Super Store
The first shop on the right hand side on the photo was 'Shepshed Super Store' during the 1970s. I owned the shop from 1978-80, selling discount toys, household items and fancy goods.
Coalville in The 70s....
So many lovely memories of Coalville. I went to Bardon Hill School and we used to have to walk thru the quarry to get there (would never be allowed now). I remember our teachers, Miss Maloney, Mr Davy, the head and Mrs Cambers.... Ah and our lovely dinner ladies Mrs Shelton and Mrs Kirk.. bless 'em. They seemed old then, bet they've passed on now. Oh and who remembers the tuck shop outside the school fence.... I remember Coalville Swimming Baths and bar six out of the vending machine ! I remember Sabu on Coalville market. Always got an outfit from him to go to Tiffs on a Saturday night ... I remember Peppers Shop on Bardon Road and the Chinese Restaurant where the now closed, Down Square One is ........ Can also remember Tescos in the precinct ... and sitting by the statue of 'Mother with Child' eating our chips from the wise plaice ... Oh so many memories......

HEY UP ME DUCK
1953 were a special year for me and Great Britain - we climbed Everest, the Coronation, the parties. We had just moved into a new council estate, they were all prefrabricated houses after the war and supposed to only last a few years to help the housing shortage, but they are still standing. The estate had a green in the centre of it, we played football from dawn to dusk and met all my new mates.
