Ref: S677006
Year: 1960
Ushers Shop
I have always known it as Ushers, although I remember it being run by a Mr. Fisher who has a teenage daughter who had a pony....I remember her being very kind to me when I was a little girl. I remember her singing a song about girls sitting in the back seat hugging and kissing with Fred . Very funny. Random thoughts...Just along the canal was the Dyke walk, it seemed so big as I was so little, and there was a footpath through it, it was a magical wood and My brother would always hide and I would feel so alone in that big wood...I remember meeting an old woman named Mrs. Calendar who had two golden retriever dogs, who lived at the end of the wood, she told us that the wood was haunted and you could hear the chains rattle on windy nights.. I don't think I ever went there again.

RE: Ushers Shop
In the early 1960s I frequently visited Gobowen and St Martins with my parents. I remember visiting a relative's smallholding, he had cattle, his name was Sylvester, and his land backed on to the canal. He had a rowing boat, and let me and my friend take the boat on the canal. We were about 10 or 11 at the time. I remember a bridge, and the one in the photo may be it. I also remember a lock just below the bridge.
Happy times, in a lovely place.
