    Hi Phil. These photo's are not showing up, and I am particularly interested in those of Gooch Street where my Mom and I used to queue regularly at the butchers, (there were always rumours of ration bargains that created huge queues). Any chance of recovering them? Cheers!

    Not sure if you still check your post on this site, but Pam Bate was a good pal of mine , together with a lad called Raymond Clare. We all lived in Cheddar Rd in the 40's & 50's, and were all about the same age - born in the early 1940's. The last time I saw Pam was in 1960, just after I had...
