Bakery Entrance

From the early 1900s to the mid 1960s my family, the Coopers, owned Thompsons Bakers, Confectioners and Restaurant at 34-36 Tavern Street.  If you turned left into St Lawrence churchyard - just where the person on the left of the photo ...Read more

The Plantations

Well not just for the 1930's but for twenty years after as well.  Memories come flooding back - not just for this picture but for Wigan itself.  I was born there in 1931 - in my grandparents home 38, Dicconson Street - a section no ...Read more

Looking Down North Street

This picture is much the same as the previous one. The horse and carriage should be on the left side...but who cares, there's nothing coming up the right side. The Grammar School's tall oaks can be seen in the distant centre.

Childhood Memories

We moved to Prestatyn in 1960 when I was 3. My first memory was riding on my dad's shoulders walking up the High Street and seeing a bus with no roof! We lived in Linden Walk for three years and I used to enjoy milkshakes in a ...Read more

Fabulous Hatch End

I also remember this scene of Hatch End.  I lived in the Pub which just about appears in this picture on the top far right, its the white buillding that is just sticking out slightly.  Next door to the pub was the Conoco garage ...Read more

Chester In The 1960s And 1970s

Chester for me, in the 1960s, was, first, the Museum.  It was a full day out.  The C4 or C3 bus from Overpool or the C6 from Rivacre, small pack of sandwiches and some orange squash in my school haversack and I could ...Read more

This has all gone, and survives only in the name of a street - Brine Road.
