I was working in an office during those times so I suppose I was hidden by a desk, phone and typewriter. I only ever wore flat shoes with the mini skirt so not much fear of tripping over and feeling embarrassed . It seems like another world now. Mind you in the Summer months now I wear shorts...

I’ve just had a look, starving now, NoddKD. I want to try all of those foods out! Jen

Don’t think I had a fringed waistcoat. I remember having a green suede waistcoat with crocheting around the edges, wore it with a green leather mini skirt. I was always worried about spilling stuff on them, they were difficult to clean! Gorgeous clothes weren’t they. Jen

Lovely pic Viv, mini skirts were great. Jen

I wore beads too Lyn, all colours. I particularly loved wearing chokers, I used to make my own from bits of material and put some little dangly bits on. Think I still have one somewhere, lovely silky grey, probably wouldn’t fit round my neck now, ha ha. Jen

Ah yes the floppy felt hat, forgotten all about mine until I saw your post Viv. I remember wearing a red floppy wide brimmed hat and a gorgeous pair of red shoes to match the hat. I also wore a red beret during those years. I don’t really suit a hat now, I am missing the long hair! Jen

I was living all of that whilst reading the account of his childhood. Very heartwarming. Thank you Mike. Jen

Amazing, intriguing. Loved this read. Life is far more interesting when you walk to places, you see so much more. Thank you, Jen

We regularly walk through Barrow Hill (Barry Bank we call it:)), great place for blackberry picking when they are in season. Jen

Love this photo. I like the stylish clothing, the little stand up collar on the blouse and the belted waists. Jen

Thank you Robert for mentioning this venue, great to have a better vision of where I saw The Animals. So many of us on this Forum may have rubbed shoulders at one time or another. Love the info and history on here. Thanks to all. Jen

I had a vague memory of seeing The Animals around 1965/66, underneath what is now New Street Station but for the life of me, until now, couldn’t figure out where the venue could have been. Reading this thread has bought it back to me, it was probably as Robert has said, may be through the...

I totally agree with you Sue. Harry was so good to post the school photographs. I saw so many faces from my time at Perry Beeches, 1962-1966. Strange because as soon as I saw the faces the names of the students came straight back to me. I have spent many hours studying the pics and reliving some...

This photo brings back plenty of memories for me. I can remember going in the shop, probably daily, to rummage through the sweets and ice cream before making my choice. It was owned by Mr Johnson back in the middle 1950’s. He and his family lived there. Jen

Love this song, my husband recorded this for my 40th Birthday on a cassette tape. Needless to say it has been one of my all time favourite pressies. Jen.

What a lovely description of your memories of Town. I feel exactly the same, although I am a few years older than you. Saturday was the day to feel excited about the bus ride into Town, like you I loved looking into the shops as the bus went by, so much to see. There was an added bit of...

Yes you could be worth a fortune Mary, however did we get away with wearing the mini skirt. Climbing the stairs on the bus was tricky. I can’t picture Mrs Baker, cruel teacher for saying nobody to help you, how are you supposed to learn? Happy days ay:joy::joy:. Jenny

I don’t really remember the Pirates Game Mary, but then I didn’t excel in P.E or games, I remember the hockey, brutal game with those lethal hockey sticks! Your two,piece suit bought back memories of the needlework that we did at school. I made 2 suits and several shift dresses during my...

Hi smithy, I was interested in reading your post on Monyhull Hospital because my Grandfather was a resident there some years ago and it jogged a few memories for me. I googled Monyhull and found an interesting piece but what I found also was a couple of questions that people had asked regarding...
