More about this scene
At one time, Co-op shops stood in most towns and even some villages, this one belonging to the Society at nearby Carnforth. Ladies' hairdressers (the shop next door with curtained windows), however, were a less common sight on shopping streets. The imposing building with the portico entrance is the Blue Anchor and, behind, rises the tower of Holy Trinity.

I was only 4 when we left, and my sister Carol was 11. My name is Kay Irene and I think I have godmothers in the village, but perhaps they are no longer alive.
