If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Many Saturdays would find my friends and I catching a bus for the 11 miles journey to Ripon.  It was the nearest swimming place for us and how we enjoyed the day out. If we had a few coppers left we would buy beans on toast at a local cafe and think ourselves very grown up.  Now I live in far away Australia, but still love to visit the town every year or so, as our daughter and family made it their home.
