More about this scene

Leading away from the Market Place (the Market House is visible in the distance) is Silver Street. The posters on the corner shop are advertising 'Dark Passage', noted in the Kingshill view. The venerable Austin Seven must be about twenty years old at the time of this photograph. The sign for the Star Inn evokes more of an image of the wild west than west country.

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

While on holiday, one of my pals, bought some laxative chewing gum from Boots. Having placed pieces of this gum into a 'Wrigleys' wrapper, my pal gave a piece to a young boy he knew in Dursley and another piece to a man from Uley, that he also knew. We thought that this was a good trick to play, but of course we were afraid to subsequently enquire if there had been any effect! Happy days!
