One day, when I pluck up the courage to empty the bottom of those wardrobes, I may well come up with much more than the Atari. I have a feeling Lord Lucan may have been in there at some time.

When Broadway was a sunken garden, I used to sit with my mum and have an ice lollie from the cinema.
When the market was in Peel Street
The UCP Tripe shop on Blackburn Road
The New Era (when it first opened) and the dances
Holidays with the Youth Club (Austria)
Mods driving up and down Blackburn Road outside the Market hall
Sitting and listening to Radio Luxemburg on the bench at the bottom of Barnfield Street

'Big Ben' was the area around the back of the college on Sandy Lane was. Near the running track.

Just looking through an old magazine.Back to 1966. I was 18 at the time. No 1,record, Four Tops, Reach out, I'll be there. No 2, Stop, stop, stop. The Hollies. The Hollies walk out of a Ready, Steady, Go telerecording session after discovering that the Dave Clark Five are to top the bill. Alma Cogan dies from cancer. John Maus of the Walker Brothers describes Scott as moody, irresponsible and a pain in the neck. Denny Lane, leaves the Moody Blues. Mick Jagger arrives at a Pink Floyd Concert, with new girlfriend Marianne Faithfull,though he's supposedly living with Crissie Shrimpton,( some things never change ). Movies of that year, Bonnie & Clyde, Georgy Girl . same Year , Aberfan Disaster, and lastly. Johnny Kidd dies in a car crash. Hard to believe it was all over 40 yrs ago.

My gran used to send me there for bread and barms before school, and to Feathers butchers in the market hall, where I still buy my meat.
We used to get freshly ground coffee at Redmans, ( now Brighthouse) and also butter patted into a block and wrapped in greaseproof paper.

'Big Ben' was the area around the back of the college on Sandy Lane was. Near the running track.

Yes! we had some fun down there, and also in Broad Oak works, there was a slab of pavement halfway up that used to get really hot in the winter, we used to meet there as well.
Fond memories of really good times
