More about this scene

Although Church Street has had much rebuilding in recent years it still retains its character and is one of the best streets in the old town. Beeson and Sons on the left occupy premises built in 1863 when Talbot Road was laid out. On the right, all the red brick cottages went about 1900 to be replaced by the buildings seen in view 49245. Much of the rest remains, including The Chequers pub on the left and the Kings Arms on the right. Beyond the Kings Arms is The Feathers, partly 16th century and enlarged in the 19th century.

I used to work at Heathrow and after early shift I sometimes made my way in my mini van to the aquadrome. I would hire a metal rowing boat and row and just drift. How wonderful was that. This was around 1970. Afterwards I would walk around the lake and perhaps go to the Swiss Coffee House.
Do you remember "Uncle Harry" he used to conduct the sing songs every saturday, during the week he was the local bill board sticker man. I can remember the song that we used to sing just before the films were to start. ............It went something like this......
