More about this scene
A very regular row of houses lines this quiet street. I wonder if all the residents were enjoying their first taste of commercial television? This was the year that the BBC found it had a rival on the small screen, and the world of advertising had taken on new impetus.

A Selection of Memories from Kemsley
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Kemsley
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I lived in Kemsley until 1970 when I left to get married.
All the kids from the village played rounders and cricket together. We always built a huge bonfire for Guy Fawkes Night but it always got burned down, we always blamed one person but many years later the boy who had done it confessed to me!
My mum Sheila Hermitage worked behind the bar at the club house, there was always a pint ready for my dad when he came off the late shift from the mill.
Happy days.
