For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

I was born in Anchorsholme and Cleveleys was where I went as a teenager. The Arena was where I caught my first bit of theatre. I eventually had a 25 year career in theatre which included a spell at London's Players Theatre, the last bastion of Music Hall, reminiscent of The Follies in the Arena

I remember a really nice guy with whom I was at school - Colin Mason (Col), his family owned a cafe in the village. I wonder if either it or he are still around. Our posse used to nip down there to meet girls or have a sneaky cigarette!
