Flaxley Road

A Memory of Selby.

My mum Barbara Cappleman lived at 29a from when it was built in the 1930s until 1960. My grandma Doris Cappleman lived there until 1984.

I remember Mrs Cumiskys general store and Mrs Wrights lovely bakery. Also Whiteleys drapers shop and the Dews sweet shop round the corner.

Reynolds had the chippy and there was also Roy's hairdressers and The Mutual which became the Co-Op. The Halls had the Post Office. Everyone knew everyone else and it was a very friendly community.
