Early Fifties Oadby
A Memory of Oadby.
This picture brings back happy memories, I was born in Oadby when it was a village like this picture shows, it was a wonderful time. The picture shows the large building on the corner which was "Allens" Chemist, further down the shops was "Rawsons" which sold bicycles, TV`s, radios and electrical goods, it later became "Dexters" where I worked in in my teens as an apprentice electrician. At the end of the small parade of shops was "Tom Best" the butchers, he was a real character, then the swimimng baths. In the foreground of the picture is "Hassell`s", painter and decorator, their son Willie used to go to school with my brother.
