Spot on . And was there a Post Office opposite down a walkway through to Yew Tree Lane .

Not if you owned a Ford . If you asked a young lady if she wanted a lift home the chances are it would not be there when you came out. Always go to a pub with a bus stop outside ( voice of experience ).

Bloomers happy memories. Did you have a membership ? .

Used to drink in there when a pint of Double Diamond was 25p a pint and on Wednesdays in the 1970s they had a disco where you could'nt dance . The DJ was George McGill. Great memories.

That looks like the entrance to H M TRIGG the blacksmith i remember that from the 1960s and 1970s . I also remember the Post Office opposite the church and there was a greengrocer also opposite the church i think it was Maycocks.

Agree with that . Going back down Church Road from the Swan island that row of shops in the 1970s i am sure Blue Circle Taxis were based there. A bit further down on the right was a model shop before Harvey Road.

Love to know whereabouts Church Road that was. The other picture with what looks like a delivery boy is opposite the church and on the left hand side further along would have been H M TRIGG the Blacksmith.

I remember Dawkins the newsagents just past heading towards the Yew tree on the corner on the right was a laundry . Further down on the same side correct me if iam wrong a shop called Prams n Things .1960s era.

Loved and still loved the Stag . To be honest most cars from the 60s 70s and early 80s would rust and fall apart as you drove them down the road. Thank god for a tin of P38 body filler on a dry Saturday morning.
