I remember it as a four and a half year old.......From the upper deck of the bus .
The flames were shooting out of the windows of the building......Mom and Dad were taking me to the dental hospital where i had quite a few "milk" teeth removed...
Both the fire and the horrible anesthetic remain etched in my memory..
It was definitely a Saturday. I was 7 and I went to Woodcock Street Baths on that Saturday. Usually I would go swimming with a couple of mates but on that day I was on my own. I walked to the bus stop I usually waited at but no 168 (or any bus) came. I just waited and waited and waited and watched the fire. Fortunately, after about 3 hours or more a bus Inspector pulled up and told me that the buses had been re-routed or cancelled.l to remember it as a Saturday morning, as Ron was on his way home for the weekend from the RAF and l remember he said Halfords was burnung when he passed either on the tram or bus.....Brenda
