I lived in Yorkletts from 1953 until late sixties. I used to go to Bill Shine's to get paraffin, which he kept out the back. While he was filling my can his old mother would lift the lid on one of the many sweet jars and give me a sweet.

I was brought up in Ellesmere Port in the 50's 60's and 70's, initially in Woodfield Road, then South Road just off Wolverham Road. I started my education at Our Lady's in the tin church in Enfield Road, then at Windsor Drive followed by a return to Enfield Road. In 1966 I went to the Boys Grammar School on Overpool Road. I left the Port in 1974 to go to University in London. Briefly returned before marrying and settling in Chester.

I'm pretty sure the name of the shop was "Importers" as a kid I was fascinated by the contraption in the window - all chain driven wheels whirling round and round and every so often someone placing or removing one of the canisters that held the beans - probably could have stood there all day had not my mother dragged me away to do shopping.
As far as I remember (and could well be utterly wrong here) you couldn't ...see more

I was wearing my little red wellingtons which squelched when I put them on. They came well over my ankles but my legs still got splashed if I wasn’t careful. Sometimes I stamped on purpose into the puddles in the ruts made by the wheels of the farm cart. My boots made a slapping noise and the muddy water shot up and dribbled down my legs. Stamping in puddles was fun, but today I had something much more ...see more
This is the village shop on the road leading toward Romford. I often went there as a child in the 1950s. Nell tried to stock everything people would need and always kept a chair in the shop because it was a long walk for some people to get to there.

In the late 1950s my parents owned a 52' ex Dutch minesweeper. I may well have misspelled the meme. It was moored just below a night club. We had many great holidays on it even though it never left the harbour! I was only 8 or 9 so that's about all I know. Any information anyone may have would be great.
