There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.

This stuff is brilliant even though, as an outsider (only been here 22 years lol) I neither know, or recall, many of the places etc mentioned.I can still enjoy what you have written and can picture you on your jaunts quite clearly, likening them to my own experiences back in my home town as a kid.Keep it up, eagerly awaiting the next episode LOL

This is fast turning into SL gold
There are only 10 types of people in the world -those who understand binary, and those that don't.

I could start the walk into Beeston where your School 'Matthew Murray School' was our rivals ie Cockburn High. I would walk down over the Brickie near to Ringtons and reaching the bottom would cross over Dewsbury Road to the Tuck Shop on the right hand side of the road. There was a shop on Dewsbury Road which would sell you a single fag.

Another good read, Terry.What year have we got to? I went to school at the other end of Victoria Road from W&W. I was wondering if it was about the same time, though I think I'm a bit younger than you.

Great story Terry! In the late 70s I had a Saturday job in a shop on Duncan Street called Untouchable (!), which sold jeans and also jackets and a few suits. I suspect this was the same place, as the owners were the Brown brothers, always known to us as Mr Louis and Mr Dan.
