Childhood Early Years

A Memory of Selby.

I spent my first years growing up in Kitchener Street. My grandmother years before worked behind the counter in the post office and was a member of the WRVS. I remember the area well even though I was only young. I can still remember some of the shops, Furniss the butchers, there were two fish and chip shops close to each other. Peckovers sweet shop which was sweet heaven, a hairdressers and Dews sweet shop opposite the Ritz cinema. On bonfire night there was always a bonfire on the grass area where the Gypsy Moth pub now stands.
