Len Greys Shop
I also worked delivering papers for Len Grey. I delivered down Mill Street and some down Corbett Road (where I lived) and in the Delph. When I started work, the first day the Sun newspaper came out I brought it from Lens shop and for a few years after because that's where we were picked up.

That's my Mum pushing my younger sister, Rosie, into the newsagents. We lived in Northwood Avenue from when the house was built in 1958 until the early 80s - although I still drive through Purley on a regular basis. A couple of doors ...Read more

Northcote Road
My granddad was a master baker in the shop on the corner of Northcote Road and Mallinson Road (1930's). There used to be an old advertisement painted high up on the side wall. I would love to know the name of the bakery if anyone remembers. I think there is a Gail's Bakery on this site now.

Mine is not a memory but a request for more information about the above property that was situated in Station Road almost opposite St Mary's. The name can still be read faintly but when I first moved to Twyford in 1983, I ...Read more

Newarthill 1950/60s Tosh And I Part 2
Like everyone else growing up in Newarthill, life wasn’t easy, as times were tough in the 50s and 60s and I suppose in many ways it is today. But back then people really had nothing, but one thing I do ...Read more

Air Force Brat
My father was stationed in Lakenheath, England in 1963. My mother and 2 brothers followed 3 months later - I was 12 at the time. Coming from Texas, November in England was a shock, and it was the coldest winter they'd had in 60 years. ...Read more

Shopping Changes Basildon has experienced a shopping revolution in the last 50 years.
There is a mounting block outside G G William's ironmonger's shop (to the left of the bridge), now owned by Martin Day under the logical name Bridge Hardware.
This row of shops with their protective glass awnings was built in the grounds of Cleveley Lodge (the building at the far left end of the row) in the 1930s.
The lower part of the house is now a shop that sells mobile telephones, but the upper storey remains virtually unchanged.
The awnings are out at the far end of the street to protect the stock in the shop windows from the summer sunshine, and in the foreground we can see frames for the awnings that have not been put up yet
For five hundred years commerce has surrounded this area with ironmongers, shoemakers and fish and meat shops.
All the buildings in the picture survive, although the shop fronts have changed.
Today the trees have matured, and the shop fronts have changed dramatically.
New shopping arcades were established along Low Street and North Street at the turn of the century, as the town's population continued to enjoy the fruits of the cotton boom years.

The Shopping Arcade has scarcely changed since this photograph was taken in 1931.
We can see tall lampposts, telephone line posts (still here), a bus stop and local shopping.
The new shops on Broadway are on the site of the former outside market.
The late 19th-century shop extension beyond is Towell's fish and chip shop.
The shops on the left were built with bricks from the Nevendon Road brickworks.
We can see of Wightmans' hardware shop, and on either side are the garage's petrol pumps.
At first glance, this row of modern shops, named after the local Anstey Hall, has not changed since 1960; but closer inspection reveals new tenants in the shops, larger trees and flower beds, and more
A barber's shop has replaced the radio shop on the left, and the Willingham Auction Rooms now occupy the adjoining building.
Across the road James Barlow, 'family grocer and provision merchant,' had the biggest food shop in the town; from the open doorway an appetising smell of ground coffee drifted into the street.
The Co-op have modernised their premises from the original three shops (a baker's, a grocer's and a butcher's) to a modern supermarket.
