In 1968, Timothy Whites was purchased by Boots, the self-service chemist. This premises is now a fashion shop. Today, Union Street is pedestrianised and home to many clothes shops and some antique shops. The occasional soldier can still be seen marching down the street.

I met Elizabeth Sewell while we were both on a Territorial Army training exercise at Aldershot. We were both serving with 39 Signal Regiment. It was April 1970 and I first saw her in her WRAC uniform, green beret and brown boots! Very nice too! I managed to sit next to her in the back of a three tonner on the way back to our barracks and we talked all the way. We arranged a date for that evening and slipped out of the barracks to visit a pub. We have now been married for 37 years!
