I remember going down town at night, it was foggyand there were oil lamps with flares all across the road to stop traffic going down Peel Street.

I remember Nobles, posh shoe shop, and Veevers, posh grocers. Also getting my school uniform (and liberty bodices) from Isobel Winter, but the woolies came from the blind shop on Bank Street.

I also remember the shed at the bottom of Infant Street and Catlows when it was at the top of Broadway - a regular vist by me and my mum on a Saturday,
That takes us back a long way(liberty bodices)
