The very spot in the photo the above incident happened radleysI remember coming home from Cubs at the hall next to Sheldon church in about 1957. It was winter and the pavements were icy. I was with my mate and I was pulling his sledge with him on it as I passed those shops on the corner of common lane and church lane, when my feet slipped beneath me. Down I went flat on my face. There was blood everywhere with a bloody nose, and a broken front tooth. I walked all the way home up common lane, into barrows lane and home at the newsagents in brays road. When older I had the front tooth capped which is still there to remind now 60 years later.
Happy days.
