Nostalgic memories of Rayners Lane's local history

Share your own memories of Rayners Lane and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

My Dad used to get off the train and go to the pet shop in search of unusual pets for my brother and I. I believe it was a large pet shop. Would love to find more information, does anyone else remember it ? We lived there in 1960- 1975
