I remember Birchfield Rd in the 60's. I used to work at Maison Celeste. A hairdressing salon. We used to play jokes on the new apprentices, sending them next door (a hardware shop, for a glass hammer or ' along weight' (wait!)) Further to the left was a cafe where we used to go for a lunch or mince pie (Byrons, I think it was called) To the right of the hairdressers was the cinema. One day I met a blind date there. I came across him on Radio Caroline. He was training to be a Doctor. John Cunningham....wonder if he ever made it! He took me to the YMCA and afterwards for a coffee.
On the opposite side of the road there was a butchers, a handbag shop ++ you had to use the underpass to get there.
