I remember that old signal box!!

I am not completely sure , but I seem to remember it being built around 61/62 time, by "Wates," I think, an old girlfriend left school and worked there, Sandra Hancock.

What an interesting story, my maternal Grandfather was a serving constable, and murdered on duty 1921.

The bike I always wanted in the early 60's was a "Daws Double Blue"!!

53, looks like "old Brits" Racer!!

Looking at this photo reminds me, what we owed to those volunteers of all ages, and how many of those proud faces came back home again, to the country they had fought so hard for, not so many I believe!!!

I remember the building to Pedrocut, always thought it a pub. !!

I was at the Birmetal's, when a helicopter landed but cannot remember the date, I have said befor that my dad ran the social club and we went to all the sports days and Christmas's and bonfire nights in the 50's, they also had a pantomime when Mr pastry came one year, it was a wonderful period...

So true Smudger mate, The village Vicar, always about cycling in his patched cassock, tending to people who needed him, the village bobby always there if there was a problem, and the Dr, any time day or night ,always there, in those days most things worked well, not today unfortunately!!!

Real frosty scene, great picture!!

Yes, sad, but time moves on, as do we all !!!

Great photo's Janet, that's how the market became roofless, and if I remember rightly as a boy in the 50's there was a mine or bomb displayed where you could make a donation !!
