Thank you Evergreen for an amazing story. By the way your bridesmaid dresses were an unusual colour for that time. To all you other ladies I ask that you climb under the bed,look in the loft or have a shufti on top of the wardrobe. Where ever the wedding photos are get them out and post up some...

Brilliant. Wonder what the story is about your Moms dress. I recall stories in my family about dresses being made out of parachute silk. One story I read on the web was a German Airman parachuted to his capture in England and a young lady was given the silk for her dress and errm...

What are the odds that the ladies are drinking Waaninks Advocaat. You see the bottles about but cannot recall seeing anyone drinking it recently.

Hi Evergreen, I have put some photos of Lynne and Carols weddings on the Brides thread in Life Experiences. Please take a look and see if you know anyone. Cheers .....Arkrite.

All through school had to queue in a special line for free dinner tickets but did not suffer any bullying or micky taking as far as I can remember because of it. My mother was an awful cook. She could ruin a slice of bread and marge (never butter in our house). It was good when my sisters...

db84124, you are correct about the risks in that sort of job . The factory I worked in Hereford had a Clerestory roof made of mesh reinforced glass, This was cleaned each summer shutdown. The labour was mostly short term students. It had to happen with in-experienced staff. A young lad put his...

Apart from a morning and evening paper round Monday to Friday on Sat and Sun I collected the money on Kingsland Toll Bridge in Shrewsbury, Good experience for my later job of Policeman as Motorists did not like parting with money then as they dont now.

Finally ,Lynne and Ken 1968, her mom and dad Kate and Albert 1940, and her Uncle Tommy and ? 1930s ?. This Tommy was a Wellington bomber pilot. I am uncertain which side of the family he was on. My wedding photos to my first wife were destroyed in a fire so you don't get to see...

Lynne's sister Carol was married a few years earlier at the same church in Halesowen. Lynne is the tall bridesmaid. The styles are very different

Back from babysitting and now running with the full kit. .The photos show Lynne's dress, bridesmaids dresses, Lynne and Pa but can anyone remember using the Frances Foley shop in the background. Photos taken in Halesowen. Finally the newlyweds in London. The street photographer needs...

Thanks for sharing Bob . Nobody seem to hold these sort of parties nowadays. Mind you modern houses are built for gatherings, so small. These photos I know little about. My mrs can be seen in one as a very young girl on the extreme left of the picture so I reckon its a family gathering of some...

Is there any interest in starting a thread showing Brides, Bridesmaids, Matrons of Honor and maybe the odd Groom ? I have tried a search and nothing came up ( not even in Other Conflicts Thread ) Looking through lynnes old photos it becomes clear that the 1960s were very adventurous in the...

Sorry I forgot .....Pikelets..........but I do come from Walsall.

I always thought it was a dead cert.

Hello Evergreen I found Lynne & Kens wedding photos at Halesowen Church but nothing in between the school photo and the wedding. She had an older sister called Carol who went to the Girls School. Carols wedding photos were there as well.

I agree with Mossy about Ilfracombe. Its quite a drop from the town to the harbour area. I last visited about 8yrs ago before my late mrs became a wheelchair user but she found it hard going. I had to leave her at a hotel bar and go fetch the car.In between times some chap was chatting her up...

The Police Force I belonged to issued my petrol coupon book. I remember filling in a questionare for it. The local petrol retailer was limiting the public to 2 gallons at a time but put the word round that any policeman could have more. At the time I was ( Ahem) having a relationship with a lady...

Not a Humber but ford V8 Pilot.

At a guess perhaps a Humber.Looks like one my Headmaster had but I dont think it had the rope holding the boot shut.
