I went to Nansen, started the infants in 1960 and left in 1966. My favourite teacher was Mr. Hodgkinson, although he got me moved up a class because I was doing too well in his class.

I'd forgotten about the cobblers, a proper old cobblers, not like Timpsons.

Hughes Biscuit Factory......my mom used to go over there on her lunch break and get some broken biscuits (thinking it would be a treat) and leave them in her bag all afternoon, by the time she left work at 7:45 they tasted delicously like Thornley & Knight.

Can I ask what Ct Ho means, I think Court House, but, that doesn't sound correct. I have ancestors who lived at 15 Ct Ho 2 Bissell Street, in 1891.

My Uncle (he's 92) always says 'how ya' doin' our bab? I'm 69.

It's on the corner of Crawford Street and Adderley Road, with St. Saviours Road opposite.

I used to walk past here a lot as a kid, 50's - 70's, I don't remember it ever being used as a chapel, a youth club at some time, I think. And, it always had that building in front attached to it.

Your pic of the Old Square reminds me of my boyfriend, I was so happy to see him walking past the mural, I ran up to him and jumped into his arms. We were going to get engaged on my birthday 1976, but, unfortunately he died two months before.

Aunty Gwen made lovely teas. Band of Hope...was you there when, Edward, I think it was, brought 'Lola' in by the Kinks and Aunty Gwen banned us from playing it. We kept asking her why, and she wouldn't answer. Now I'm older I know why.

My Aunty Gwen and Uncle Arthur and cousins Mary and John, used to live in the house next door to the Post Office, until it was demolished to build a mosque. Although we were told that the buildings were being demolished to widen the road, because it was dangerous as there was no view around into...

Remember lining up there every Saturday morning with my cousins. 6d entrance fee.
