New Street 1950s
A Memory of Chelmsford.
In the late fifties I went to the Cathedral School in Chelmsford and we lived in Rainsford Road then. Sometimes after school I would come home via New Street, and also later in the sixties when I went to the Grammar School. There was a junk shop with sweets on the ground floor. I wasn't interested in the sweets, I just headed up the stairs to a treasure land where there were old books, records and assorted odds and ends lying around. No one else ever went up there. I didn't often buy stuff but might still have one or two. I remember seeing a book of old German nudes and being shocked, and reading reminiscences of Rossini and Beethoven.
