1950s I spent hours at the late rag market, about 8 or 9 years old, this would be goods in and out for the market, if you went to that part, the boxed goods came in, for me in particular it was the Banana boxes, all wooden, oblonge and really well made, I was after, I would attach some string...

Attachments 117397 brings back so many memories, when my son was four I had to take him to what was then the children's Hospital Five ways, we walked past that cobbled stoned oldy worldly what became a antique shop, with different sellers, renting space, as I'm saying this, in front of me is an...

Gone but not forgotten, brief encounter . I love Honda, on my second VTEC, wish they had window wipers on the back . Don't you think it was easier to find a date back then. : ) .

Brilliant view, you can see just how huge it was, puts it in perspective.

Love that word mooching, years since I've heard anyone say it, once at the market you would say " lets have a good mooch" we know what that means hahaha. That's got me going the need for a good old mooch. Thanks for that its tickled me pink.

Hi, yes I remember it, I used to go more Fridays and knew by name many of the sellers, but did go to that antique market a few times, love antiques and the sellers had some great items at a fair price, Fridays went with my mate, Monday I liked to go alone, got some nice bargains. Wish you could...

You can say that again, she didn't need a loud hailer you could hear her when you walked in, my friend was scared of her Hahaha, lost lot's of characters when they pulled that lovely old building down. I did see her in Solihull Touchwood indoor shopping centre, she had a middle display of items...

Poor horse, poor milkman he might have had a close bond with his horse. Thanks for sharing.

I feel for your nan, for a child to see the death of a horse must have been harrowing for her, as she never forgot it, when I was growing up I saw my fair share of animal cruelty, that stays with you, and today we have a rise in cruelty to all animals, a lot is lack of education on how to treat...

Hi in 1824, William Wilberforce and other men in high places, with Arther Broom a London vicar, sat at "The old Slaughter coffee house" to discuss what they could do about cruelty to animals, in particular horses who they saw being beaten daily and worked to death. They formed a society called...

Same here my friend and I loved looking around Henry's, always busy, lots of items you couldn't get anywhere else. Fond memories.

As another Bierton Road pupil so happy you have found a fellow chum. Good luck.

Of all the nightclubs we went to, have to say the Locarno was a favourite, great atmosphere, best time to be young and free, I always knew I would get told of when I got home "What time do you call this" and even got locked out, but to be honest I didn't care. If I had to go back I would not...

Looking at the picture of it now, its nicer than I thought, as a youngster all I saw was the windows and what was in them. I had no idea what a great looking shop it was, that would be just as inticing today and not out of place on a high Street. Thanks for the memories.

Really great pictures so sumptuous bringing back memories, no wonder it stuck in my mind. Thank you.
