Well, as I was only a kid in the 50's I don't remember Morts. Remember the cinemas, though. I was always fascinated by the lurid posters displayed outside to advertise forthcoming attractions. Better value for money in those days too as you got two films - and I often enjoyed the "B" movie better than the main feature! I always loved those sunken gardens on Broadway too - a little oasis of calm in the middle of town.

So what do you think of the old place now you're back? Sad to see the old blue-and-red corporation boxes gone and the once-thriving railway station reduced to a practically bare platform isn't it? Still, if you're interested in football, you've returned at just the right time with Stanley playing back at national level for the first time since '62!
